Brand New Broiler House in the Netherlands
A newly completed broiler house in the Netherlands is now in operation. Measuring 85 meters in length and 18 meters in width, the house offers an optimized layout that supports highly efficient feeding and drinking systems for the broilers.
The house features the VDL Flex Auger Feed Distribution system, ensuring smooth and reliable automatic feed delivery by transporting feed directly from the silo into the hopper of the feeding lines whenever it is needed.
The feeding lines are equipped with the Valenta broiler pan system — a proven solution designed for optimal feed accessibility. Five Valenta feeding lines have been installed, including the optional Valenta Flow Slider, which ensures a fresh feed overflow upon the arrival of Day-Old Chicks (DOC). The pan’s low ridge allows chicks to access feed from day one, while its open design prevents them from getting trapped.
The drinking lines are strategically positioned to ensure even water distribution. Each of the six lines can be flushed for hygiene purposes, and all are equipped with automatic winches for easy height adjustment — guaranteeing clean and accessible water at every stage of growth.
