For egg producers, the margin of profit often comes down to two factors: the number of “Grade A” eggs produced per hen and the longevity of the flock. Achieving excellence in Egg Production requires a holistic approach to equipment and environment.
The Big Herdsman Layer Cage is designed with the hen’s comfort and the farmer’s efficiency in mind. The angle of the floor is calibrated to ensure that eggs roll out gently and immediately onto the collection belt. This prevents the hens from pecking the eggs and keeps the shells clean.
Broken eggs are “lost money.” Our Egg Collection System features a multi-stage dampening mechanism. As eggs move from the cages to the central packing area, they pass through “soft-touch” elevators. This system is designed to handle thousands of eggs per hour with a breakage rate significantly lower than the industry average.
Layer hens are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. A slight heatwave can cause egg shells to thin or production to drop entirely.
Cooling Power: Our Cooling Pad System utilizes evaporative technology to drop house temperatures by up to 10-15 degrees during peak summer.
Air Movement: High-performance Ventilation Fans ensure that there are no “dead spots” in the house where heat or ammonia can accumulate.
Control Systems: All these components are tied into our Environment Control units, which adjust fan speeds and Air Inlets in real-time based on internal sensors.
In modern egg farming, manure management is a critical biosecurity component. By using a Manure Conveyor system, we keep the house dry. Dry manure inhibits the growth of flies and bacteria, creating a safer environment for both the workers and the birds.
Choosing Big Herdsman means you get a partner who understands the biology of the bird as much as the mechanics of the machine. We provide full layout designs for Poultry Production that streamline the workflow from the feed silo to the egg truck.
