Mangeoire poussins 1kg Olba 2 adjustable levels

Two Adjustment Levels for Adapting Distribution

The unique feature of this Olba feeder lies in its adjustable distribution system with two positions: high or low.

This adjustment allows control over the amount of food that flows from the hopper to the cup. This feature is particularly useful since flour, crumbs, and pellets do not have the same fluidity.

By choosing the appropriate setting, the breeder can ensure a sufficient amount of food is available for the chicks while avoiding unnecessary overfilling of the cup.

This control over distribution also helps to reduce waste, especially with pellets that young birds can easily scatter outside an overfilled feeder.

A Design Studied to Reduce Food Loss

Chicks naturally tend to sort, scratch, and move their food with their beaks. A significant portion of the food can end up mixed with the litter.

To limit this phenomenon, Olba designed this feeder with a relatively deep cup and an anti-overflow rim.

The chicks maintain comfortable access to the food, while the shape of the cup helps keep more food inside.

This design thus helps reduce losses and contributes to maintaining a cleaner feeding area.

A Capacity of 1 kg Suitable for Chicks

The hopper can hold about 1 kg of food, a capacity well-suited for raising chicks and young birds.

The reserve allows providing a sufficient amount of food for the animals without resorting to a large-capacity feeder, often less practical during the first weeks of rearing.

As the chicks consume their food, the food in the reserve naturally flows down into the cup.

The hopper is also equipped with a top cover for quick refilling while protecting its contents.

Ground Use for Young Chicks

During their first days, chicks must have very easy access to their food.

For chicks up to about two weeks, the feeder can simply be placed on the floor of the brooder or rearing area.

Its low height allows young animals to easily reach the cup and start feeding quickly.

It is advisable to keep the feeder on a surface as clean and dry as possible to avoid food contamination by the litter.

A Feeder That Can Then Be Suspended

As the birds grow, the feeder can be suspended using its top handle.

The height adjustment then accompanies the growth of the animals. Ideally, the bottom of the feeder should be positioned approximately at the height of their backs.

This setup offers several advantages: it reduces the amount of litter likely to enter the cup and also limits the possibility for the birds to scratch or scatter their food.

The feeder can thus continue to be used as the chicks grow larger.

An Integrated Handle for Easy Handling

The top part of the feeder features a handle directly integrated into its design.

It allows easy transport of the feeder, removal for cleaning or refilling, and, when necessary, suspension in the building.

A simple yet particularly practical detail for daily use in farming.

An Easy-to-Maintain Feeder

The hygiene of feeding equipment is essential during the first weeks of the chicks' lives.

The synthetic material construction offers an easy-to-clean surface and allows regular maintenance of the feeder. Its detachable design also facilitates access to different parts during cleaning.

Frequent maintenance prevents the accumulation of food dust, droppings, or residues in the cup.
