The team is looking forward to this year’s British Pig & Poultry Fair on May 13th and 14th at Birmingham NEC.
Be sure to stop by stand 6-650, where we will be showcasing the latest innovations from Big Dutchman, Kletec and Sanovo. We are excited to be launching two new products for 2026 including the Idol Lighted Control Feed Pan and Feed Chain Tensioner for Chain Feeding.
Big Dutchman is offering a new, smart sensor for broiler feeding. An integrated LED lamp in the iDOL 29 sensor registers the feed level in the second to last feed pan, as tests have shown that illuminated feed pans attract broilers. Poultry managers can therefore be sure that their flock empties the control pan, guaranteeing that the entire feed line will be refilled as required. Controlled via a smartphone app, farmers can easily configure the sensor settings, such as lighting duration or switch-off delay, with an NFC chip integrated in the smartphone reading the data provided by the iDOL 29.
What’s more, the new feed chain tensioner was developed to make re-tensioning of the feed chain during the batch easier. Available for the FeMaleChain and MaleChain, as well as chain feeding, the chain tensioner connects two trough ends whilst a threaded rod below the chain tensioner is used to adjust the trough length and therefore the length of the feed chain. This ensures ideal feed transport and a long service life, i.e. low wear and tear of the entire feeding system. Suitable for both standing and suspended systems, the position of the chain tensioner can be positioned freely for optimum efficiency.
