You get more eggs from your feed dol
lar because our exclusive, patented re
mixing intake wheel in the feed hopper
re-mixes uneaten feed returning from
the trough with fresh feed. That means
all of the feed is used. Your birds get the
full ration, and feed is not wasted. The
result is better feed conversion.
The Big Dutchman chain-in-trough feed
