AVINEST is a comprehensive range of fully automated nests for all types of breeder. Nests are available in standard, XL and flat top.
Specification levels are very high for all the nests in the AVINEST range for breeder, including:
• Variable speed controls for all egg collection belts.
• Perforated Astroturf® nest pads to allow all the dust and muck to fall away – to ensure cleaner eggs. Optional solid Astroturf® also available.
• Nest floors which raise up at night to close the nests, keeping the hens out of the nest in order to keep the nest pads cleaner and reduce broodiness. Also allows for full inspection of the nest and no trapped birds.
• Strong galvanized leg supports for each nest section.
• All sections bolted together for extra strength and support.
• Individual lifting mechanism for each nest floor set, to maximize reliability.
• Interior lights in every nest and on each level, with a time clock and dimmer control, to help attract the hens into the nest.
• The entire nest is a very substantial construction and made to last.
• The design makes all our nests very easy to clean and keeps possible insect hiding places to a minimum and protects hatching eggs.
The AVINEST range comprises a range of configurations to meet the requirements of customers including:
• Flat top and peak top nests
• Standard and higher capacity ‘XL’ nests
• ‘Half’ or ‘Wall’ nest formats (in single and 2 tier)
