A pioneer in improving animal welfare and the efficiency of livestock management, GRIMAUD FRERES SELECTION has recently published a guide advocating an end to the use of slatted flooring in duck farms and the use of straw litter instead.<\/p>\n
Fewer injuries, less pododermatitis, reduced mortality, better living conditions, improved biosecurity, manure reclamation, no more slurry, reduced mechanisation costs, shorter building downtime, lower construction costs etc. The economic and environmental benefits of such an approach are outlined and the technical challenges of using only straw litter are explained.<\/p>\n
Following almost two years of trials, GRIMAUD FRERES SELECTION is totally convinced of the benefits and is gradually transforming all of its Pekin, Muscovy and Mule duck breeding farms, as well as supporting customers who are looking to make the change too.<\/p>\n
