FEEDING OF MALE BREEDERS
The benefits of separate feeding programs for male
and female breeders are well documented Allows
for specific feed formulations and decreases foot and
leg problems Hens show increased hatchabihty and
have access to feed without competition from males
Valuable feed savings result
Only the 813 Dutchman Rooster Booster feeding
system simultaneously delivers feed to each feed pan
without raisins and lowenns lines or programmms
individual feed tubes
The Rooster Boosters feeder lines are pre-charged
with feed (33 lb /ft, 36 kg/m) so that all feed pans
are filled simultaneously at system start-up
The feed ration, pre-weighed into a 200 lb (65 kg)
capacity feed hopper, is distributed as required with

the high-speed conveyor chain When the hopper is
empty a low level switch stops the feeder and the
lines are pre-charged for the next feeding Most
feedings are accomplished in 10 minutes or less
Only Big Dutchman's Link Cham has the speed and
flexibility for pre-charging feed lines while going up
and over aisles to keep ends of the house clear
Big Dutchman’s rugged all-steel and lightweight link
chain allows running speeds of 105 ft/mmute
(32m/mm ) Feed is carried between round discs and
is moved uphill, downhill, and around ball bearing
corners with virtually no ingredient separation With
a capacity of over 2000 lbs (650 kg) per hour feed
is delivered faster than roosters can eat, keeping the
chain full at all times —the key is a pre-charged feeder
