PARADISE PA.
It takes more than wire
to make a cage system. More
than anything else it takes
a feeder.
Sure, other components
are important, but mainly
it’s the feeder that makes the
system. That’s why the Big
Dutchman Tri-Deck system
outsells the others. Tri-Deck
is equipped with our SPEED
FEED chain feeder that
feeds every bird the right
amount at the right time,
without waste.
When you compare
poultry equipment remem
ber that the real test of a
cage system is its feeder.
Big Dutchman is ready for
the test.
Big Dutchman, where
proven ideas are put
into action.
