NATURA
Multi-Level Systems
Intelligently structured system for high egg production
The NATURA multi-level system by Big Dutchman is characterized by its consistently structured design. This is an important prerequisite for high egg production and animal-friendly housing. To give hens an ideal start with the NATURA multi-level system, they should be reared in a system with a similar structure. Only then, a smooth transition (16 to 18) from rearing to laying with only a short training period is possible. In order to keep the percentage of mislaid eggs as low as possible, it is extremely important to observe the instructions for correct management. This include the implementation of special feeding and lighting programs with the corresponding house illumination and special dimming sequence, the correct litter material or setting of fixed times for the access to the winter gardens and/or the free-range area.
Special approach perch
(patent no. 299 19 443.4)
ensures that the hens
sit facing the aisle –
less manure drops into the litter
Group laying nest
Colony 2+ offers suffi-
cient egg laying room
to the hens
Nest and system are
arranged in a way that
allows the hens to
easily reach the nest –
less mislaid eggs |
|
Eggs that are mislaid on
the slats roll under the
approach perch via the
slightly tilted plastic slats
- there they stay clean
and can easily be collected
manure belt underneath
every level – hens
rarely get in contact with
their droppings, very
hygienic conditions
uniform illumination of all
level – minimum amount
of mislaid eggs on the slats
nipple drinkers placed close
to the nest additionally
increase acceptance of the nest – less mislaid eggs |
