Feeding Systems
Choosing the right feed system is crucial for the success of broiler breeders in poultry farming.
A well-designed feeding system directly impacts the health, productivity, and welfare of your flock, playing a vital role in the overall efficiency of your poultry operation.
With over 50 years of experience, VDL Agrotech is dedicated to providing top-tier feeding systems tailored to the needs of broiler breeders. Our expertise ensures that you benefit from the latest innovations and proven technologies in agricultural feeding solutions.
ChainOvation Chain Feeding System
The Chainovation chain feeding system, developed in cooperation with breeding associations, is an extremely reliable system. Feed can be distributed at various speeds (max. 3000 kg/hour) through the feed trough, giving all the birds almost simultaneous access to the feed. This reduces stress inside the poultry house and promotes animal welfare and animal health.
The high quality durable VDL feed transport chain constantly mixes the feed ingredients, stimulates the feed intake and prevents selective eating.
The chainfeeding system is available both supported and suspended.
Key Features
- Simultaneous and uniform feeding time
- Equal portions feed for all males
- Less stress for males and females
- Better control and selection possibilities during feeding
- Improved animal welfare and performance
- Optimum use of genetic potential
- Floor space efficient
- Easy management and labour saving
Matrix Male Feeding System
The Matrix system is perceived by many breeding organizations as the most efficient and accurate feeding system for males. Males eat side by side, simplifying control and selection possibilities. The males have access to an equal portion of feed at the same time, over the complete length of the feed line. The feed quantity can be accurately set with the 10-position feed level regulator. This prevents dominant behaviour and ensures more rest in the house and among the animals. Because the males eat from a trough, the feeding time takes longer, which result in the males eating calmer.
The Matrix, side and/or centre line, takes up less space than traditional pan feeding systems, so there is more production space available for both females and males.
Key Features
- Optimum feed distribution in the feed pans with daily winched and non-winched feed lines for males
- Grill-less design for optimal accessibility of the feed and no damages of the cocks comb
- Gallox bottom with “cups” and extra ridge for better eating behaviour of the males, the feed intake lasts longer
- Easy, 6 adjustable dosing positions and 12 precise dosing volumes are possible by mounting with or without a reduction tube
- Optional individual or central closable
(synthetic closing slide or Central-Slider) - Solid and durable feed pan
- Hygienic, no feed residues and easy to clean with or without the bottom folded open
VDL Gallox
The Gallox feed pan offers ample space for 8 to 10 males to get feed from each pan in broiler breeder houses. The Gallox bottom with “cups” and extra ridge ensures that the dosed feed doesn’t spread further into the bottom pan while dosing the feed. Males have to peck the feed out of the small “cups” in a specific way, spreading the feed time over a longer period.
The Gallox improves the animal welfare as there is less stress in the house during feeding.The design of the pan without grille ensures that the combs are not damaged and that the males have optimal access to the feed.
Key Features
- Efficient, sustainable and maintenance-friendly
- 7-position feed level regulator to control the outgoing feed quantity
- Prevention of selective feeding behaviour
- Minimal feed spillage
- Better control and selection possibilities
- Supported and winched systems available
- Quick and easy installation
