Overview
In breeder flocks, uneven access to feed shows up directly in laying rate. This chain system fills every pan simultaneously so all birds eat at the same time, which removes the stress reaction that comes with staggered feeding.
Feed is delivered on a chain-driven plastic disc inside an enclosed run, which reduces feed breakage, noise and pipe abrasion. The flexible-link design allows recycled feed supply and makes installation straightforward.
Examples of application
