The new generation pullet rearing system with increased height for enhanced ventilation and bird welfare

Evolved from one of Big Dutchman’s true bestseller, UNIVENT-Starter 680-plus provides excellent rearing results with improved quality and durability. A 40mm increase in compartment height allows for much better air exchange in all tiers of the system, which ensures pullet uniformity and improves bird welfare.

UNIVENT-Starter 680-plus consists of two separate tiers to satisfy the differing needs of day-old chick and pullets – both in the start tier and the grow tier. This proven rearing system is now also enhanced for added durability with OptiCoat on all wire and sheet metal parts, providing three to four times better corrosion protection compared to galvanised materials.

Technical

  • OptiCoat technology for enhanced corrosion protection
  • Magnetic locks for secure and swift closing
  • Available with or without manure belt ventilation
