Manure belt battery for laying hens
The UniVent layer cage system from Big Dutchman meets our customers’ highest requirements regarding bird health, laying performance and environmental factors in the most ideal way. This technically proven system is characterised by a long service life, high functional reliability and outstanding conditions for humans and birds.
Main advantages
-Zinc-aluminium coating of all wire parts (cage fronts, bottom wires and lateral partitions) → 3 to 4 times better protection against corrosion compared to galvanized wire
-Drinking nipple with V-channel → each hen can easily reach two nipples
-Entire cage front consists of sliding grids that can be opened completely → moving birds in and out becomes simple
-Air duct for fresh air supply to the birds and for the production of dry manure (optional) → significantly reduced ammonia emissions
-Flat-shaped egg protector as footrail encourages egglaying at the trough → short rolling-off distances, hardly any cracked eggs and hens are prevented from eating eggs
-Deep feed trough with inner rim → minimum feed losses
-Trough-shaped manure belt → manure cannot drop into the system, very clean transport during manure removal
-Trampoline effect of the bottom wires due to the flexible suspension → very high egg quality
