Proper poultry housing is the foundation of successful and sustainable poultry farming, playing an important role in disease prevention and overall flock health. For UK farmers, the challenge of maintaining optimal conditions whilst balancing cost-efficiency has never been more important.
Well-designed housing for ground-nesting birds creates microenvironments that inhibit pathogen survival and transmission while promoting natural behaviours that strengthen birds' immune systems. From commercial broiler operations to free-range egg production, the right housing solution not only protects your investment but also ensures higher productivity, better welfare outcomes, and compliance with increasingly stringent UK regulations.
Investing in an innovative approach to housing ground-nesting birds that combines decades of agricultural expertise can help create environments where birds thrive and disease risks are minimised.
The most effective disease-preventing housing incorporates washable, non-porous surfaces, appropriate drainage systems, and accessible areas for thorough cleaning. McGregor Agri Span structures feature smooth interior surfaces that prevent pathogen harbourage, coupled with drainage and ventilation that speed drying after cleaning.
Housing design directly impacts biosecurity effectiveness by either facilitating or hindering proper protocols. Ideal designs incorporate clear separation between 'clean' and 'dirty' areas, controlled access points, and features that prevent wild birds from entering the area.
Our structures are engineered with versatility, suitable for broilers, layers, breeders, and speciality poultry like turkeys and ducks. The modular design allows customisation for various production methods, from intensive systems requiring precise environmental control to free-range operations needing secure night-time housing.
