Moreover, they’ve always been quick in supplying me maintenance and assistance, especially with spares which is the most important thing for me.

Modula feed pan is very reliable during the chick, weaning and fattening phases. The adjustment of the feed level is perfect and there’s no waste of feed in any growing phase especially with adult birds. It’s made from sturdy, but flexible material and is extremely shock resistant even to heavy turkey males. It’s very easy to adjust, assemble and disassemble and as a consequence, washing operations are really easy. The change from the chick to the adult phase is fast and simple, like the assembly and disassembly of the big ring for the adult phase that is really practical and well secured to the bottom pan despite the strong stress made by adult turkeys. Another important thing concerns the fact that chicks can’t enter the feed pan during the first days thanks to the anti-chick ring which prevents them from soiling the bottom of the pan. If we had to renovate or build new farms, we’d definitely keep this pan into consideration. Sponsored text by Aza International
