Farmers in the poultry keeping sector have interacted and learnt from various international companies that supply equipment’s across the globe to farmers during the Agritech Africa Expo.
Big Dutchman Company from German, outstood others as they showcased a technology that simplifies poultry farming.
The company’s product, named ViperTouch is an equipment that every farmer would love to have as it helps the farmer monitor his farming while at his office.
The system is connected in a way that the farmer can control room heating system systems, feeding systems, controls fans, and get first-hand data on what is happening at the farm. The system records all essential data concerning production, growth, feed, and water consumption as well as mortality.
The data recorded will be provided to the farmer’s computer, and this enables the farmer to manage the farm easily in hand with his day job.
With this system, poultry farmers can take the required actions after been provided with the data in leading to better performance results and increased economic efficiency of the production. The system is made in a way that it can monitor both breeds, broilers or layers.
