NATURA Step & NATURA Step XL

Welfare-friendly aviary systems for organic, free range and barn egg production

Big Dutchman has more than 35 years experience with (cage-free) aviary systems: an advantage that is consistently used for customer benefit.

The NATURA aviary system was designed with a focus on bird welfare, without compromising functionality and efficiency, which are very important to egg producers. The laying hens easily find their way around NATURA aviaries, can exhibit their natural behaviour and lay their eggs in optimally designed nests.

NATURA Step and NATURA Step XL are versatile systems. Whether you want to produce barn eggs or free range eggs, are planning conventional or organic egg production, a large or a smaller house: the NATURA Step aviary systems from Big Dutchman are always the right choicefor welfare-friendly and successful egg production.

Important features of NATURA Step and NATURA Step XL

  • tiers of different widths create a stepped design in which all functional areas are easy to reach, especially the integrated nest level;
  • both the staff and the birds can easily access the aviary; nest inspection is made simple;
  • nipple drinkers directly in front of the nest increase nest acceptance;
  • the required nest surface area can be adjusted according to the stocking density by combining separate sections in different ways;
  • the back wall can be disengaged at the nest entrance for thorough cleaning of the nest after each batch;
  • eggs mislaid in the system (system eggs) can be collected automatically (optional);
  • a large usable area ensures good utilisation of the house surface, especially with NATURA Step XL;
  • two manure belt levels guarantee that most of the manure is transported out of the house, decreasing the ammonia content in the air and improving hygienic conditions;
  • the aviary is fully functional even as a single row;
  • the entire house floor surface is used as a scratching area;
  • a version with an air duct is available as an option.
