self-sufficient. Our laying flock now comprises 11520 pairs that our housed in
enriched raised laying units protecting them from many of diseases and problems
associated with birds kept on the ground.
Our
birds are kept in a 3 year cycle, with the oldest birds being sold as ex-layers
immediately after their third laying season.
The
birds are routinely treated to protect against parasites and are also
vaccinated against infectious bronchitis, mycoplasma, TRT,
The
raised units are equipped with an automated feed system supplied by Collinsons.
This system allows each row to be fed independently by auger from a bulk
storage hopper. Nipple lines are also fitted, fed by mains regulated water
through a medicater.
