Mt Barker Chickens
Mount Baker Chickens needed to transport feed from their silos to their feed truck (Stage 1)
The Client
The Problem
The on-farm outload system previously using a large mobile auger was crushing the different feed products to dust.
The Solution
The automated outloading feed line operation to fill Feed Truck with a 2-speed control for moving the 3 different types chicken feeds (starter crumble/Grain Mix/Finisher Pellet) into an 8 cubic meter transfer truck that then delivers to the 26 free range eco shelters dotted around the landscape & in between rows of grain.
The Outcome
Feed deliveries can now be made by a range of personnel due to automated inload augers.
The manual (OH&S Risk) handling risk of moving large heavy transfer augers has been removed
The poultry production has seen 50% increase in grower weight and good consistency of weight gains in the finish of the Mt Barker Free Range Chickens.
