Overview



Plasson feeding systems are widely applied in commercial poultry production to control feed distribution accuracy, reduce labor dependency, and stabilize bird growth performance.

System configuration depends on measurable parameters including stocking density, feed line layout, and mechanical transport stability.

In commercial broiler houses, feed intake ranges from 15 g to 220 g per bird depending on growth stage.

Mechanical auger diameters between 35–45 mm ensure stable feed transport across long production houses.

Proper selection ensures consistent feed delivery, improved feed conversion ratio, and stable flock uniformity across production cycles.



Feeding System Architecture Overview



Plasson feeding systems operate through a centralized feed storage and mechanical transport mechanism designed for continuous poultry house operation.

Feed is transferred through enclosed pipes using spiral augers, ensuring controlled distribution to feeding pans.
