There are no Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey dinner traditions in the Old World, nevertheless, turkey meat spread its fame and now, there is a number of European countries like Italy, UK, and Poland who are historically holding a lead in EU turkey production and a few new producers like Germany, France, and Spain are gearing up and specializing more and more in turkey growing.
Turkey meat meets consumers’ needs as everyone can eat it, with high protein content and no known allergies. The researched nutritional content of the turkey meat versus broiler meat raise awareness among the consumers, and those new trend-setter farms who are on guard of the consumers’ demands successfully fill the appearing niche with old-new product.
The equipment suppliers flourish together with the meat producers by offering feeding and watering solutions for the turkeys. The challenge of the equipment suppliers is to meet the requirements of the day old poults who will grow to be pretty heavy birds – surely up to 25 kg: how easy is the access to water and feed the first days and how heavy duty and robust is equipment during the growing stage?
BigTom Turkey Drinker Performance
VAL-CO proves to be one of the suppliers who takes care of the turkeys and their needs. Let’s focus on drinking cups: what our European customers acknowledge as a big benefit of BigTom™ turkey watering cup is that it provides one system to serve all ages of the birds and still have the excellent litter quality!
What you hear from most of the customers in different languages:
“So simple and so uniquely reliable! You will need just to raise the drinker lines according to the age requirements – and your birds are never thirsty”.
If you want to help your young birds, just put the green ball in the cup and that will trigger the nipple to provide additional water in the cups for poults. The math is also easy – 30 turkeys per cup till the age of 7 weeks and afterwards 20 turkeys per cup. The older the birds, the stronger they get; however the stainless steel reinforcement at the bottom of the cup will increase the durability of the cup. Look – easy and durable, awesome results at a good price!
As the Spanish grower told: “Tests show that the BigTom™ blows away other suppliers”. He is still hesitant to say more not to jinx the success.
We will work on getting the data rather than words only. How rewarding it is to hear those sweet words from the customers or dealers. We are extremely thankful to them for their trust!
