Key aspects of poultry farming where Big Dutchman technical innovations
are increasing farm productivity include.

Poultry Feed and Water

Providing poultry with enough of the right food at the right time, combined with constantly available fresh drinking water, is key to increased production.

Ensuring birds feet remain dry and healthy and reducing food and water contamination is key to healthy, happy, productive birds.

Poultry Lighting

Lighting in your poultry house is key to several aspects of poultry health and in particular lighting is crucial to promoting poultry growth, feed intake, metabolism and nutrient utilization, all of which contributes to poultry productivity.  

Poultry Silos

Utilizing a Big Dutchman Silos can be used outside of the house as well as inside the house dependent on your poultry farming set up.

Poultry Climate Control

The more sanitary your house, the higher the health and well being of your chickens, ducks, geese or turkeys. Big Dutchman has a variety of exciting poultry residue solutions that increase bird health, well-being and productivity while also increasing farm profitability.

Poultry House Management

Raising birds is a sensitive business, with the slightest changes having an effect on farm profitability. Big Dutchman has taken bird centric scientific research, combined with years of experience with poultry farmers from across the globe to create innovative, user friendly poultry farming technology that increases farm productivity.

Boiler Breeder

Managing broiler breeders is a challenging task. Feeding, housing equipment, lighting, climate: all components need to be optimally attuned to each other for successful hatching egg production.

Solar for Egg Production Farms

Ensuring your egg production houses have continuous ventilation, food, water, temperature control and manure removal is critical to the health, wellness and productivity of your birds.

Big Dutchman Solar provides egg production farmers with solar solutions that seamlessly tie in to your current power set up, providing back up power when grid power is unreliable.

Poultry Production Buildings

The set-up of your egg production house affects heating and cooling costs, ventilation efficiency, feed and water distribution and manure removal. Big Dutchman Buildings provide egg farmers with a turnkey egg production house, complete with energy efficiencies, state-of-the-art egg production farming equipment, and, when required, technology for collated data analysis through Big Farm Net.

Feed Mills for Egg Production Efficacy

Managing the cost of feed on your egg farm is one of the most effective ways of increasing farm profitability. Running your own feed mill enables you to determine the composition of your feed, manage the quality of the feed and reduce reliance on external feed suppliers who may increase the price or be unreliable with feed deliveries.
