Advantages
• simple assembly of 3 to 8 tiers;
• feed troughs are mounted on
supports for trough stability and
long service life;
• feed trough with inner rim provides
minimal feed losses;
• upper walkway for batteries with
more than 5 tiers = easy bird
control;
• better thermal economy (reduced
heating expenses and reduced
investment costs per bird) is
achieved with systems of 4 or
more tiers due to increased
density:
• remarkably low bird mortality
during rearing.
