MC 1000

Manual Broiler Catching Cage with Enhanced Tunnel Ventilation

The MC 1000 by Big Dutchman is a stacked cage system engineered for efficient, profitable broiler breeding. Its smart design increases stocking density, reduces labour, and optimises ventilation, all while ensuring excellent bird health and growth performance.

By making better use of building space and energy, the MC 1000 helps broiler producers cut costs and increase output, often making it possible to produce an additional batch each year. Featuring easy access for both feeding and catching, plus a robust OptiCoat finish for durability, the MC 1000 delivers reliable performance over the long term.
