NEW CAGE FEEDING SYSTEM
Feed is your biggest out-of-pocket cost. Cut it just 1 percent - without cutting
production - and that's money in your pocket.
Our new cage feeder helps you do just that. Because it uses a new feeding
principle poultrymen have proved will work.
It’s our experience birds prefer teed that hasn’t been picked over. They eat
more, convert feed better and are more productive. So we designed our new cage
feeding system to deliver fresh, fine-ground feed-+- or crumbles to every bird in a
closed tube.
