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 Big
Dutchman’s Systems are
equipped with a 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.
Don’t Settle For
Anything Less Than
The Original
Dutchman.
