How can feeding equipment give broilers a perfect start?
When 1-day old chicks are placed in the broiler house, they should find feed and water as soon as possible. Broilers need to learn where to find the feed. Many feed pans are designed to reduce spillage, but are not made for day-olds to get easy access to feed from day 1. That’s why VDL introduced the Flow Slider to the Valenta pan feeder for broilers. With the Flow Slider, the farm manager can use central mechanism to flood pans with extra fresh feed. Day olds now have easy access to feed, and the farmer does not have to place additional feed trays for the first days.
After the flooded feed is consumed, birds start to eat from the pan. The VDL Valenta has the lowest entrance hight, when placed in the litter material. This makes it easy for the chicks to access feed. The grill-less design of the pan ensures that no birds get stuck when they grow.
The VDL Valenta broiler pan with Flow Slider truly supports broilers with a perfect start!
