Flock Services

Maximize flock productivity in layer, pullet, broiler, or turkey flocks

Dutchland Farms’ Flock Services programs are designed to help the producer or grower optimize their flock with a focus on efficiency and cost-saving management services. Based in Rheems, Pennsylvania, technicians service farms throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Services Available

Licensed flock service technicians are available on-call 24-hours a day and provide a variety of services including production management, health management, guidance for food safety, and animal care guideline implementation. Our experienced team can guide your testing for state and federal regulations for production and for live poultry market health certificates.

Effective Data to Prevent Costly Production Drops

By preventing a 1% drop in egg production for 100,000 birds at 85% production, you gain 70.8 dozen eggs/day or 495 dozen eggs/week. By reducing mortality and condemnations each by 1% in a 30,000 bird barn, the benefit is an additional 600 birds sold for our broiler service customers. Our technicians are able to evaluate such key performance indicators like eggs per hen housed, feed conversion, and percent production through comparison of historical flock records and breed standards. Understanding and managing these metrics is critical to running a successful flock management program.

Your Partner in Farm Compliance

Achieving and maintaining the appropriate certifications is critical to your cash flow, and our service technicians, working closely with our dedicated Compliance Specialist, can help you or your growers prepare for a food safety, animal care, or specialty certification audit.

Data to Ensure Optimum Performance

By comparing results to historical flock records and breed standards, technicians are able to evaluate key performance indicators like eggs per hen housed, feed conversion, and percent production. Understanding and managing these metrics and then proactively making changes to flock management programs is critical to running a successful operation.

Let us help you take your business to the next level. Invest in flock service and watch it pay dividends.
