Since ten years Van Gent International have been involved in the supply and installation of poultry-equipment all over the world. Van Gent automatic roll-away laying nests and slatted floors are produced in Holland. Poultryhouses can be equipped (laying nests and slatted floors) for both breeders and layers.The automatic roll-away nest is the result of years of practical experience with Van Gent laying nests. The construction is simple and stable as a result of wich the nests can be assembled more easily. The expulsion system makes it possible to remove the hens periodically from the nests. This prevents fouled nests and broody hens. A mechanical time-clock activates the expulsion station.
