Broiler Housing Concept
Central Position of Nest and Manure Pit
Main advantages: Positioning nest and manure pit centrally in the house is a common concept for broiler breeder houses in Europe. A drinker line is installed above each manure pit, approx. 60 cm in front of the nest. Either suspended or standing chain feeding lines are mounted on the left and the right of the manure pit. Depending on the width of the house, an additional circuit can be included above the manure pit. The males should be fed separately near the long side of the house.
Hand Gathering Nest without Manure Pit
Main Advantages: Hand gathering nests without manure pit are a great option especially for smaller houses. Nipple drinkers and chain feeding lines (suspended or standing) are installed at both long sides of the house. If males are fed separately, their feeding and drinking systems can be situated centrally between the nest rows, where the track-and-carry system for the hatching eggs is also installed.
Lateral Position of Nest and Manure Pit
Main advantages: Positioning nest and manure pit at both long sides of the house is a common concept for broiler breeder houses in Northern and South America as well as Asia. A drinker line as well as suspended or standing chain feeding lines are installed above the manure pit. The ReproMatic pan feeding system is another possible alternative. Males are fed in the centre of the house on the litter.
