Poultry Breeder Slats

Dura-Slat is made from high impact, wear resistant polypropylene plastic designed to replace wood and wire slats in poultry breeder houses.

Cleanability

Our non-porous smooth surface and 1.1″ x 1.1″ openings can cut cleaning time in half compared to wood slats. The large openings also allow the birds to continually work the manure though the openings to maintain a clean environment.

It has been proven to that eggs laid on square openings, regardless of surface area – like the Dura-Slat, were significantly cleaner than eggs laid on wooden slats. Eggs laid on plastic had significantly less surface microorganisms than those laid on wood slats. The primary source of contamination of hatching eggs is contact with dirty sources.

Durability

Dura-Slat is made out of high-impact polypropylene material providing superior impact and wear resistance.

Rot-Proof/Non-Porous

Our solid plastic construction is rot/corrosion proof, resists microorganisms build up and sheds waste easily.

Performance

Dura-Slat reduces foot pad problems, leg problems, and breast blisters experienced with wood slats. It will easily outlast wood slats.
