The water is added by using a pump that draws deep water of good hygiene, in order to ensure the required speed of the feed. The feed is then spread using a dispersion unit of 17 meters in circumference with 12 feeding units so that the feed is spread about the cages in a satisfactory manner. The feeding rate is up to 50kg of feed per minute. Experience from using the system shows the need for bird netting is not required.
