Installation        June 2019

Product used     ALTUMA GalliSpec

Result

GalliSpec allows the animals to see more, thanks to our specifically developed spectrum which is adapted to the eye sensitivity curve of the chicken. This leads to healthier growth, reduced stress levels and, ultimately, to lower mortality rates in the stable.

Furthermore, GalliSpec enables improved orientation for the animals, which leads to increased feed intake and an optimised distribution of the animals in the stable.
