A little more than a decade ago, most broiler producers were dependent on modified mainstream machines to collect mature broilers out of poultry houses. Not being specifically designed for the job, these machines were not very efficient. “They always left me with this feeling that there had to be a better way of doing things,” says Bruce Kleynhans, who has been involved in the poultry industry for over 30 years and is the managing director of Cedarvest.
Kleynhans's search for a solution ended when he met Sam Moffett at the International Production and Processing Expo in Atlanta, US.
