TECNO, an AGCO com- pany, is a world leader in the design and manufac- ture of commercial egg production equipment.
Established for over 40 years, it utilises Euro- pean-sourced materials, state-of-the-art automated in-house production and design to provide a supe- rior product at a competi- tive price.
Tecno provides a range of products to meet Aus- tralian and New Zealand customers’ requirements. Pullet rearing
Tecno believes pullet rearing is the foundation for great production re- sults.
Good rearing can pro- vide more even weights with a better feed con- version ratio, allowing an earlier light increase in the layer shed.
This can result in in- creased egg numbers and efficiency.
To this end, Tecno pro- vides custom systems to minimise stress and sub- sequent weight loss on
transfer to the layer unit. Whether the layer shed is set up for cage, colony, free range, barn or cage free, Tecno has a system
to suit.
Aviary layers
Tecno does not believe in a one-size-fits-all solu- tion.
The company currently provides a wide range of aviary solutions to fit with customers’ requirements and preferences.
In addition, because manufacturing and design is in house, Tecno can of- ten accommodate requests for custom features.
This is particularly rel- evant when fitting out ex- isting buildings, which is often the challenge when converting production systems such as cage to cage free or broiler to free range.
Cage free/barn egg
In addition to multiple aviary designs, Tecno provides ‘combi’ system solutions.
These were designed to meet the specific require- ments of conversion from cage production to barn or cage free.
The design and concept of the VS range is well established.
Millions of layers have been housed to date.
The system provides an easy management transi- tion from cage layers.
The system can be set up for colony layers and con- verted to barn/cage free at a later date.
