About the challenges of going cage-free-the case of Asia

Natura Step – the animal-friendly aviary system for barn and free range egg production

Animal welfare concerns are growing in Asia. This trend caused Singaporean publisher Asian Agribiz to interview Robert Geerts, Vice President Sales Egg Business Unit for Big Dutchman Asia, on cage-free egg production. The result is an interesting podcast about what the challenges of going cage-free are and how these challenges can be addressed. 

Big Dutchman is an expert when it comes to helping egg producers convert to new systems. The poultry equipment supplier has been working with alternative management systems since 1981, when cages were banned in Switzerland. Today, Big Dutchman can offer a wide range of corresponding products. More than 100 million bird places worldwide have been equipped with the “Natura” aviary to date.
