Manual feeding often exposes feed to moisture, leading to mold growth and mycotoxins that damage gut health. Automated feeding systems paired with sealed silos keep feed dry and fresh from storage to delivery.

This reduces the risk of intestinal diseases like necrotic enteritis, lowering mortality and veterinary expenses. For a 10,000-bird house, annual savings on medication can reach hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Healthier birds also achieve better growth uniformity and feed conversion. By addressing the root cause of feed-related illnesses, automated systems deliver both health benefits and measurable cost savings.
