Over 80% of the nation’s top egg
producers* have already switched
to Chore-Time cages with ULTRAFLO*
Feeders!*
Egg producers have been putting up with obsolete
chain feeders far too long. Now there's a better
way: Chore-Time's proven ULTRAFLO Cage Feeding
System. Since introduction, more than 80% of the top
54 egg producers* have gone to ULTRAFLO. A lot of
smaller ones have too.
They've all looked at the advantages and chosen
ULTRAFLO. That’s because it makes them more
profitable. Total egg production and egg size—these
are the best benefits of our complete feeding system.
Why not check out the facts for yourself? Contact
us now—or ask any producer who owns ULTRAFLO.
Because the only negative comments about our
feeding system come from our competition—not from
our customers.
