The system has been design
ed for bird comfort!
Each bird has her place at the
feed trough. Each has easy
access to water. Obstruction to
light and the flow of air have
been greatly reduced, providing
more uniform ventilation and
lighting for every bird. Com
bined with Chore-Time's auto
matically controlled air mlettmg
system, you get a layer house
environment designed for bird
comfort and the resulting
better production.
Not only the
physical shape of the
feed trough, but the
operation of the
feeder has been
engineered to reduce
feed waste. The
trough shape cuts
down on feed loss
from “raking” and
“billing," while . the
feeder has been
specifically designed
for Chore-Time's
programmed and
performance feeding
concept.
