for organic, barn and free-range egg production
Whichever type of alternative layer management you select: we have the right product for you! Good housing equipment must consist of carefully considered and coordinated individual components: feed and water supply, nests, perches, manure removal and climate control systems. This is a central prerequisite for healthy hens and a high laying performance.
Our modern manure pit systems are very animal-friendly and easy to monitor, and they can be fitted into the majority of barns.
