Why are we doing all we can to hatch a perfect chicken, but do we not take care of the chicken during transport?

Perfect day old chick transportation conditions are essential for delivering quality day old chicks (doc) to the poultry house. As a day old chick is not able to regulate its own temperature during the first days of life, it is crucial to provide good ambient conditions during transport.

HachTraveller
The HatchTraveller is a new transportation concept for chickens. HatchTech applied the concept of forced laminar airflow to the HatchTraveller. This proven concept secures optimum air temperature, airflow and air velocity by making use of perforated radiators. The system works independently from the climatologically circumstances outside the transport system. Chick temperatures of 104ºF are guaranteed.

Maintaining chick quality
A HatchTraveller ensures an optimal start for the chicks. The HatchTraveller is equipped with a unique climate control system, which ensures optimum body temperatures of 104ºF; their neutral zone for which allows chicks to utilize nutrients (yolk) for a good start and ongoing development in the poultry house.
With the HatchTraveller, chicks maintain their quality and their growth potential is ensured.

Increased capacity
Because of the patented concept more chicks per square meter can be placed, while at the same time the body temperature will be at an optimal 104ºF. HatchTravellers transport up to 30 % more chicks per truckload than traditional systems of equal dimensions.
