AVINEST is a comprehensive range of fully automated nests. For all types of layer. Available in standard, XL, and flat top.
Specification levels are very high for all the nests in the AVINEST range for layer, including:
• Variable speed controls for all egg collection belts.
• Large Perforated Astroturf® nest pads to allow all the dust and muck to fall away – to ensure cleaner eggs and better hatchability. The extra depth of the nest pad allows for higher density stocking.
• 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 keep possible insect hiding places to a minimum and protect hatching eggs.
AVINEST is a strong and simple nesting systems which is designed for longer life with years of trouble-free use.
The standard single tier system boasts a variable speed egg belt operated by a foot switch for complete control of egg collection. To minimize potential damage to eggs, there is an infra-red light switch which will stop the belt automatically when the eggs reach the end of the belt.
