Efficient egg production in laying aviaries, NATURA rearing

Pullets which are destined for egg production in laying aviaries should be reared in similar systems: intensive training from the first day onwards allows the birds to easily adapt to the laying aviary later on. Uniform and healthy pullets and a good start into the laying phase are the main goal. Big Dutchman s three tier NATURA aviary system offers the best possible prerequisites for a smooth transition of the pullets from the rearing to the laying aviary: the lower and the central level of the aviary are equipped with feeding and drinker lines. The upper level is designed as a resting area, as the pullets are naturally drawn to use the highest place at night. This behaviour is encouraged by a sunset simulation, which means the lights in the lower and central level are switched off sooner than the lights in the top level.
