Following the modern trends on the global poultry farming market, TEXHA has developed its proprietary cage-free broiler management system that not only provides the humane poultry rearing conditions, but also ensures high economic performance for business.
This novel equipment is based on the well-established floor management system modified to fit the concept of multi-level poultry house. The new project by our company is called Multifloor. This concept is applicable to rearing and management of various poultry species.
Construction of multi-level poultry house help to achieve commercial success along with significant resource saving through reduced financial costs, less labor efforts, minimum time consumption and lower space requirements. The building and the equipment constitute a single undivided facility structure.
This broiler mesh floor management solution offered by TEXHA satisfies even the most stringent requirements by animal welfare advocacy groups.
Our solution provides your birds with guaranteed freedom from 5 following ailments:
This paradigm-shifting project is intended to simultaneously solve several important issues: how to create natural living environment for the birds, while maintaining high economic feasibility for the business.
In order to produce broiler meat with ‘cage-free’ label, an entirely cage-free poultry farm is required. The process of broiler rearing using this system is somewhat similar to the floor poultry management, where the birds are not contained in the cages. Quite the opposite, the birds are provided not only with the freedom of movement, but also with the freedom to satisfy their natural needs and instinct drives. Furthermore, the secret key to resource saving lies in the multi-floor poultry house construction.
This product by TEXHA is specifically designed for large-scale poultry farms willing to shift to the cage-free technologies.
The equipment has been thoroughly tested at TEXHA’s own experimental trial site. We offer 3, 4, 5 and even more levels of floor-mounted equipment integrated into a single facility. This is a unique solution that currently has no comparable counterparts in the entire world.
Business advantages:
This cage-free broiler management solution concept is based on the floor poultry management approach, which implies manual litter removal. However, TEXHA has managed to offer automation facilities even for such litter removal process by substituting the regular floors with mesh floors in the poultry containment area.
Our solution utilizes the belt-based litter removal system, which ensures high-quality litter removal and maintenance of the equipment in clean condition, thus contributing to the microclimate conditions improvement in the poultry house. This system offers quick and reliable litter removal across all levels of the facility. The litter removal system design and operation principle are identical for each level.
Efficient litter removal technology, minimizing the bird’s exposure to litter, helps to prevent many issues related to the poultry health.
The litter removal system consists of:
The litter is collected and removed from the poultry house using the polypropylene belt located under every floor section. When the litter is gradually accumulated, it is carried by the belt towards the drive station, where the dedicated scrappers move it to the transverse litter unloading conveyor.
The belt is operated by the drive station, which is also used to adjust its position. The tension station serves to maintain the required belt tensioning level. The tension station design uses the auger-type cleaning shaft, which ensures cleansing of the litter removal belt on the inside.
In the drive station area, the belt surface is cleaned by the dedicated scrapers made of the wear-resistant material. Special mechanism presses the scrappers against the work surface of the belt, which allows efficient cleansing of the belt from litter.
The transverse conveyor is equipped with the rubber-textile belt for removal of litter from the poultry house directly to the inclined conveyor, which, in turn, is used for discharge of litter into a vehicle for further disposal. The inclined conveyor also features a dedicated cover made of galvanized steel.
Optimal litter removal process organization helps to reduce ammonia content level and control the litter moisture.
System advantages:
Polypropylene belts are manufactured at TEXHA’s own factory from high-quality raw material using the German technologies.

Adjustment System
KoChiBo feeder features moveable bottom that enables adjustment of the feeder depth. This features is especially important for chicks during the first days of their life, since it significantly facilitates a search for feedstuff and ensures easy access to feed, thus contributing to the fast growth of the birds.
With the growth of a chick, the feeding lines may be gradually raised to increase the feeder depth. Therefore, the volume of the feed spilled into the feedbox is also increased thanks to the movement of feeder frame upwards relatively to its bottom. This allows supplying the birds with the higher quantities of feed, while preventing loss of the feed from scattering.

Advantages:
Microclimate in the poultry management is no less important than the quality of poultry housing equipment, and its role can be hardly overestimated.
Regardless of the cross breed or genetic inheritance of the flock, without proper microclimate conditions the birds cannot maintain good health and yield high-quality product.
Microclimate inside the poultry house is the combination of such factors as temperature, humidity, air flow rate, atmospheric pressure, noise level, air composition, microbiological contamination level, et cetera.
The microclimate system represents the production process, the purpose of which is to create and balance the necessary microclimate parameters using the dedicated technical facilities and instruments.
The poultry farming researchers suggest that the flock productivity depends on microclimate condition by approximately 10-30%. Unfavorable microclimatic conditions result in the reduced disease resistance of the birds. Moreover, the microclimate directly affects the service life of the equipment and even the poultry farm buildings.
The resulting efficient operation of the microclimate system depends on the correct choice of equipment, its correct installation and proper calculation of the system parameters in general.
TEXHA excels in design of automated microclimate systems. When choosing the system, a number of specific conditions should be taken into account, including, but not limited to the cross breed and size of flock, geographic location of the poultry far, i.e. climatic zone, et cetera.
The microclimate system may comprise of the one to four sub-systems in various combinations:
HUMIDIFICATION / COOLING
