Alternative System for Laying Hens Housing (Baltica)

Product Description

The TEXHA company presents one of their brand new products – the Alternative System for Management of Layers Baltica. It’s
produced on the base of the TBNE cage, which is well-known in poultry world and appreciated by the poultry specialists. Baltica
was created for housing of commercial layers according to the European standards.
The Baltica system has all the advantages of TBNE cage: it provides the optimal conditions for poultry housing, significantly
saves your money and has long exploitation terms. The main distinction of Baltica is the bigger space, which is provided for
poultry pasture.
Why it is so important? First of all, it absolutely meets the European standards and the strict laws on treating the livestock,
including the EU Directive ***9/*4. Second of all, Baltica does a significant contribution into increasing the quality of your
product. The wide space for pasture guarantees psychological health of the poultry and, correspondently, the higher rate of
egg-laying qualities and quality of eggs.
How TEXHA provides the comfortable poultry housing in Baltica? The doors of the system may be opened upwards. The layers
are able to go out of the system through the open door and walk on the area above the egg collection tray or move from tier to
tier. That’s why the pasture area increases.
Taking into consideration that the layers may go out on the floor of poultry house, the floor area is added to the usable area.
The niche under the battery (the area from the floor to the first tier) may be closed for better maintenance.
