With the Ul-Tram-Matic Cage System
“Horizontal Density” provided by Big
Dutchman’s Ul-TRAM-MATIC cage system
gives the poultry producer increased man
agement CONTROL and bird DENSITY. The
installation of “wall to wall” cages with
an electrically powered tramway to carry
men and equipment over the cage system
puts you “on top” of management prob
lems. UL-TRAM-MATIC gives you better
CONTROL of feeding, watering, egg collec
tion, ventilation, lighting, manure han
dling and flock supervision ... all with
increased bird capacity of up to 25 per
cent per building, it all adds up to pre
dictable performance, predictable profits.
