SPEROTTO high quality community nests (VIDEO and PHOTO GALLERY) are made up of modules.
Each module’s size is cm 230 x 160 and features 4 nests holes designed to host hens. Each nest hole features waterproof painted wooden partitions, translucent PVC internal walls, galvanised steel sheet roof with air intakes and anti-dwell upper profile, plastic sheet curtains, 7-9 watt bird-calling light bulb.
The wooden partitions are far better than the steel ones because they give the bird the best environment for laying eggs. Wood is longer-lasting and rust-free. It doesn’t get cold in winter and doesn’t get warm in the summer, reducing to the minimum escapes from the nest-holes due to nasty conditions.
The nest bottom is completely swinging by means of racks, allowing for the complete closure of the nests, this brings two main advantages: during the night, when the nests are closed and the bottoms are in vertical position, the day’s filth can pour down allowing for a cleaner overall environment.
The nest bottom is made of a galvanised and powder-coated steel wire mesh and covered with natural rubber or special plastic pad, that gives comfort, and moreover they can be cleaned and washed easily.
The bearing structure is made of a galvanised and powder-coated steel frame with stainless steel legs.
A galvanised steel wire-mesh is fixed under the plastic grating, in order to prevent the birds from getting under the nests. Once the eggs are laid, they gently roll out of the nest holes onto the lateral conveying belts (VIDEO), expressly perforated to allow proper cleanliness and ventilation to the eggs. From there, they are moved to the collecting table located in the service room. Two lateral conveying belts instead of a single central belt work better because they result in an increased overall surface for the eggs, with consequent reduction of egg-cracks due to eggs colliding against each other and less collections per day. They also allow an easy maintenance and cleaning, things that are impossible to do with automatic nests featured by only one central belt, placed under the nests, like the one supplied by our competitors.
The conveying action is ensured by an electric motoreducer complete with speed variator, so that the conveying speed can be adjusted to the number of eggs and to the operator’s needs. The general switchboard, to be located adjacent to the collecting table in the service room, automatically controls all the operations.
By our collective automatic nests and by our breeding systems, we can grant a percentage of undamaged eggs (good hatching or table eggs) equal to 98%. The remaining 2% is due to: 0,7 % of eggs brooded out of nests; 0,6 % of broken eggs; 0,7 % others reasons. Our clients know that this is a great result. Surely the breeder has a leading role to get this result, but our automatic collective nests can make a difference.
