It is critical for you as a poultry farmer to provide suitable shelter for your birds. Allowing them to grow and perform at their best. The key to achieving the best possible control of your manufacturing process is to automate and monitor your barn processes. This all-in-one poultry farmer's automated system is appropriate for all broilers, layers, breeders, and pullets. It manages, controls, and monitors all of your poultry house's functions, including climate, feed, water, lighting, animal weight, egg count, and egg flow optimization. The technology is also compatible with a remote app and cutting-edge Farm Management software.

Controlling poultry using a simple touchscreen interface

This system's complete touchscreen functionality makes it incredibly user pleasant and clear. Using unambiguous symbols, a 3D overview of the barn may be created. All text is customizable, and the computer may be set to speak any language. It supports both metric and imperial measuring units.

Aviary and cage-free poultry house specialists

We've worked with broilers and layers in a variety of housing systems, including cages, group housing, and floor and cage-free homes, for many years. Horacio Agri specializes in poultry farmers' automated systems with aviary and cage-free solutions. This is more difficult than a cage or group housing. In free-range and cage-free homes, ventilation, nest control, and egg counting, in particular, necessitate a distinct method. Our automation technologies make certain that these operations function smoothly and effectively as well.

Ventilation and temperature control for poultry

An ideal barn environment increases your animals' performance and health. It is critical to have the proper measuring instruments in the barn in order to create the proper climate. The ventilation, heating, and cooling systems of the Fortica system are precisely balanced. This is done based on the temperature, relative humidity, and negative pressure levels in your barn. When establishing the appropriate environment, the Fortica may also consider the age and weight of your animals. Whether you utilize a longitudinal ventilation system, a combination ventilation system, or a tunnel ventilation system. Any poultry ventilation method is compatible with the system. The system includes numerous settings for each form of poultry ventilation or housing system, ensuring optimal air circulation in your barn.

Poultry farmer's automated system feed control, you may increase the FCR.

With Fortica's feed management, you can ensure that your animals are receiving the appropriate amount of feed while also gaining insight into feed consumption and expenses. Water is just as crucial to your animals as food. You may keep a tight check on the feed and water intake, and any discrepancies are sent to you. This improves feed conversion and provides a better indicator of your animals' health.

Feed registration and weighing in silos

The system includes silo weighing. It mechanically transfers the correct amount of feed from the silo to the home hoppers. The amount of feed is calculated based on the number of grams of feed consumed per animal every day. To correctly assess the amount of feed in the silo, weighing cells are installed beneath the silo.

Feed registration using a computerized feed weighing machine

The most precise technique of feed control is Fortica in conjunction with a feed weighed. It is also ideal for combining different types of feed and dosing tiny amounts of feed to pullets or breeders. Before the feed is delivered to the barn, it is transported from the silo to an automated feed weighed. The feed weigher properly weighs the amounts and maintains the right mixing ratio of various types of feed.

Special feed management improves animal performance.

The technology allows you to regulate feed chains or feed pans in various groups. This technique is highly useful for bringing animals to the correct floor and back into the systems on time, especially in cage-free and aviary farms. As a result, the technology assists poultry producers in training their birds and optimizing their performance.

Control of poultry lighting

House lighting is an important component of overall home design; it has a significant influence on the behavior and welfare of your animals. Light, for example, encourages feed and water intake and alters day and night cycles, all of which increase animal comfort. In this regard, proper light distribution and intensity are critical. This can be handled with the Fortica automation system.

Scales for weighing animals

As a poultry farmer, you must be able to regularly check your animals' weight. The system includes animal weight registration and displays the average weight, uniformity, and dispersion of the animals in the flock. Hotraco's animal weighing scales are appropriate for all sorts of poultry and housing. The animal weighing solution is based on differential weighing, which is detected by the poultry scale in the home. This enables the machine to calculate the average weight of the animals properly.

Controlling the Flow of Eggs

The Hotraco Egg Flow Control is a one-of-a-kind technology that reduces production costs by ensuring a continuous egg flow from the hen house to the packing stage. With this simple control system, the egg flow is rarely interrupted, resulting in less shell damage. It is critical to maintaining a consistent supply of eggs in order to operate egg collecting with an egg packer as efficiently as feasible. Horacio Egg Flow Control adjusts and optimizes egg conveyor speed, ensuring a continuous flow of eggs to the packing site. The Egg Flow Control technology improves egg quality while shortening collecting time. This reduces packaging expenses since less manpower is required at the egg packer.

Automatic egg counting using a dependable egg counter

Layer farmers can also use the Fortica method to count their eggs. Horacio Agri egg counters may be utilized in a variety of homes, including those with group housing or cage-free and aviary housing systems for the nest, system, and cross belts. The totally poultry farmer's automated system counting of system eggs is unique and very innovative in this industry. When eggs are counted precisely, variances per barn and group are now instantly obvious. The technology provides poultry producers with critical information regarding animal performance, such as laying % and egg count.
