The possibility of offering turnkey feeding and drinking lines is worthwhile for poultry as well as for turkey and duck farms, confirming the severe decrease in human intervention during the breeding. The efficient automatic feeders and drinking lines are designed for all species of poultry interest and for every breeding need. They are also easy to assemble and maintain and allow a significant reduction in time and management costs.
High quality slats for extra safety
Made with high quality plastic, the slats are resistant to corrosion, have a long life, are easily cleaned and disinfected and, above all, are safe, thus ensuring high-breeding performance levels. They are made with polypropylene, a copolymer UV stabilized that reduces ageing due to solar rays, resistant to high temperature. The advantage of a slat is that the litter quality is consistently better, because the birds sleep on the slats. The special design allows maximum ventilation, and this leads to an increase in the number of animals per square meter.
Giordano, through its 60 years of business experience, has succeeded in developing farm equipment with modern design and innovative materials to ensure the correct supply of feed and water in the livestock farm. All Giordano’s solutions are designed to reduce losses, maintain a high level of hygiene and ensure animal welfare through lines that reduce possible injuries.

Frequently asked questions
What is important to check when you want to buy slats for chicken houses?
When selecting slats for chicken houses, several factors are critical to ensure the health, comfort, and productivity of the poultry. Here are the key considerations:
- Material Durability and Quality: Choose slats that can withstand moisture, ammonia, and cleaning chemicals. Plastic slats are often preferred due to their durability and resistance to rot.
- Comfort and Welfare: Slats should be smooth, but not slippery, with rounded edges to prevent foot injuries or sores. The spacing between the slats should avoid trapping the birds’ feet.
- Airflow: Ensure proper air circulation to keep the chickens cool and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to respiratory issues.
- Ease of Cleaning: Slats must be easy to clean and sanitize to maintain a healthy environment. Removable or modular slats make maintenance easier.
- Waste Management: The design should allow manure to fall through the slats easily into the collection systems, keeping the birds clean and reducing the risk of disease.
- Structural Design: Slats must support the chickens’ weight without bending or breaking. Ensure they are securely installed and suitable for the number of birds in the house.
- Temperature Control: The material should not retain excessive heat or cold. The plastic slats (PEHD/PP) offered by Giordano are designed to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -15°C to +50°C.
- Cost and Longevity: Consider the initial cost versus the long-term durability of the material. Higher upfront costs may be more cost-effective over time due to lower maintenance needs.
- Biosecurity: Slats should be resistant to pests such as mites, which can hide in crevices and negatively impact the health of the birds.
By carefully selecting slats that balance these factors, you can create a chicken house environment that supports the well-being of the birds and the efficiency of the operation. The slats made by Giordano meet all these above-mentioned important requirements.
What to consider when choosing automatic chicken feeders?
When choosing automatic chicken feeders, consider feed distribution, ensuring even access for all chickens. The system should protect feed from contamination and be flexible for different feed types. It must be durable, with easy maintenance and energy efficiency. Look for an easily programmable system with sensors for feed monitoring. Safety features are crucial, with no sharp edges or hazards. Additionally, assess long-term costs, feed savings, and the ability to integrate with other systems. Giordano’s automatic feeders meet these essential criteria for efficiency and animal welfare.
Is it a lot of work to clean the Twist and Maxi Twist feeders?
Not at all. The Twist is designed in such a way that it can be perfectly cleaned with high pressure without being taken apart. For that reason, the Twist is unique in its kind.
Which characters are important for a feeding pan for chicken?
When selecting or designing a feeding pan for chickens, prioritize durability with materials like heavy-duty plastic or metal. Ensure the pan is resistant to weather, corrosion, and UV rays. The size should suit the flock size, with low edges for easy access. Stability is key to prevent tipping, and spill prevention features help minimize waste. Choose a pan with smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, and drainage holes if used outdoors. If you need to move the feeding pan frequently, make sure it is lightweight and easy to move. For added protection, look for designs that keep pests away. You also have to make sure the feeding pan is reasonably priced while still meeting the functional and durability requirements. Giordano offers a wide range of feeding pans meeting all important requirements as mentioned above.
Can Giordano offer me solutions for drinking systems for chicken?
Giordano is known for providing a variety of solutions for drinking systems for chickens, tailored to meet the specific needs of poultry farmers. These solutions are designed to ensure that chickens have access to clean and fresh water at all times, which is essential for their health and overall well-being. Automatic drinkers, such as nipple and cup drinkers, ensure continuous water supply with minimal intervention.

Giordano also provides essential accessories like water level indicators, filters, regulators, and connectors to maintain a clean water supply. All systems are made from durable, hygienic materials to ensure long-lasting, safe water access for your chickens.
Why are feeding pans for chicken often red?
Feeding pans for chickens are often red because chickens are naturally attracted to the color red. Red is a stimulating color for chickens and can help encourage them to eat more feed. Additionally, red feeding pans are easier for chickens to see, especially in dim lighting conditions, which can help reduce feed wastage and ensure that all the chickens have access to food. The color red also helps to mask any blood or discoloration in the feed, making it more visually appealing to them. Overall, using red feeding pans can help improve feed intake and overall productivity in a chicken flock.

How does a gravity drinker for chicken work?
A gravity drinker for chickens is a simple and effective way to provide clean water for poultry. It works based on the principle of gravity and consists of a water reservoir and a drinking base. When the water level in the base drops, more water flows out to replace it. This mechanism prevents overflow and ensures a steady water supply. The reservoir can easily be removed, cleaned and refilled as needed. Gravity drinkers are popular in poultry farming because they are easy to use, reduce water wastage, and minimize the chances of water contamination compared to open water containers.
Is there a difference between slats meant for poultry houses?
Yes, there are differences between slats meant for poultry houses. Slats are used in poultry houses to provide a clean, dry, and hygienic surface for birds to stand and move on, typically raised off the ground. Slats come in materials like plastic, wood, and metal, each offering varying durability and ease of cleaning. The spacing and texture of slats depend on the type of bird and their age. Properly designed slats also ensure hygiene and better ventilation to ensure a comfortable environment. Selecting the appropriate type of slats for a poultry house depends on the specific needs of the operation, including the type of birds, their age, the climate, and the overall management practices in place. Giordano offers a wide variety of slats for all kinds of different purposes.
