OverviewDevice designed to mechanize the daily spreading of a thin layer of bedding (sawdust or miscanthus) in duck houses, without risk of injuring the animals. The machine provides good operator visibility, an appropriate capacity and simple adjustments for uniform bedding distribution.
Key benefits and uses- Enables rearing on bedding (sawdust or miscanthus): reduced ammonia release, improved animal welfare, lower losses, and better meat yield and quality.
- Mechanized spreading among ducks without risk of crushing or injuring the animals.
- Full operator visibility: standing on a front step to monitor ducks while spreading.
- Simple operation: low required power, easy adjustment of spreading width and dosing.
- Good spreading performance: excellent transverse and longitudinal uniformity.
- Hygienic design: limited or no contact between the machine and the outside environment.
History and recognition- Award: Sommet d'Or 2015 for this machine.
