The BroMaxx broiler colony system ensures a perfect climate, hygiene and animal health, resulting in better feed conversion, lower costs, better growth, uniformity, more cycles per year and perfect meat quality. This system prevents foot pad dermatitis and breast blisters, what provides meat of premium class. The system is designed for high bird density and smart harvesting methods result in significant labour savings.
- The FlexFloor floor system adapts to the weight, size and shape of the broiler chicken and provides the necessary support for the breast and feet. Good manure pervious and the highly hygienic condition of the floor prevent foot pad dermatitis.
- This cage system is equipped with modern feeding system. Its construction provides optimal feed consumption within the whole period of growing.
- The ideal dimensions and layout of the BroMaxx colony system allow maximum bird density. Optimal bird density results in higher profitability.
- The FlexFloor and underlying manure belt function together to provide an efficient, labour-saving harvesting method. Broilers are removed from the house fully automatically without the need to catch them.

Nipple drinking
The main purpose of the drinking systems is the supply of clean drinking water to your poultry. Of the many advantages of a nipple drinking system, below listed are the main features:
- Better hygiene
- Better control of water temperature
- Minimum of water spillage;
- The drinking system is easy to clean, and flush by means of incorporated manual or optionally automatic flushing system.
- Easy access for birds to the drinking water
- Optimal dosing of medication or other additives to the drinking water
- Better control of litter quality (dry)
- Lower humidity and less ammonia in the poultry house
From the water control panel, the water is directed to the pressure reducer. The pressure reducer reduces the water pressure to a level which ensures optimal waterdelivery from the nipples. This pressure can be adjusted and checked from the transparant vent tube. Birds will drink the water from the nipple and any water spilled will be captured in the dripcup. The height of the drinking line can be adjusted by the central winch.
The drinking nipples are a number of nipples per section depending on type of poultry and a number of drinking lines are mounted in a 3,65 meter long square shaped thick wall pvc tube.
The nipple tube is connected with a special bracket to the support conduit or aluminium profile. In floorhouses, drinking systems are suspended from the roof with a winching system. A suspension point is mounted every 3 meter.
The nipple drinking systems are available in different models for broilers, layers, rearing pullets, breeders and free range birds. Drinking systems designed to be used in different housing systems.
