Outdoor facilities
An important part of the overall solution
Steiner’s models not only take into account the interior of the mobile barn.
We also place the highest value on functionality in the outdoor area.
Natural colour tones and a harmonious combination of colours ensure that Steiner mobile barns blend attractively into the landscape.
Optionally, the colours can be adapted to the customer’s wishes or local regulations.
In order to be able to set up Steiner mobile barns on wet meadows, they are available with 72 cm wide pasture tyres. This simplifies moving in difficult ground conditions.
An integrated gutter allows the roof water to drain in a targeted manner. This prevents the ground in the free-range area from becoming softened by dripping rainwater.
Outdoor cameras and floodlights controlled by motion sensors help detect uninvited visitors, regardless of whether these are thieves or natural enemies approaching the laying hens. Video recording is indispensable for tracking. The recordings can be played back directly via mobile phone.
Depending on the customer’s wishes, exit flaps are available on one or both sides. With the double-sided version, the animals can run onto the pasture alternately on the left or right long side. This preserves the other side of the free-range area in each case.
OPTIONAL COLD SCRATCHING SHED
The extended recreation area
It is possible to integrate a robust cold scratching shed to extend the other areas in the organic version. It has a very positive effect on animal welfare, especially when confinement is compulsory (in the case of regional bird flu).
The cold scratching shed is separated from the outdoor area by nets or exit flaps. Both the nets and the flaps can be conveniently operated via the control system. This makes it easy to determine the area where the animals can roam.
A floor made of perforated panels is standard in the cold scratching shed. Cleaning is simple and efficient. This protects the pasture.
In the PRO models, the roof of the cold scratching shed is insulated. This makes the stay more comfortable for the animals even in the colder seasons. In summer, it remains significantly cooler underneath the roof.
In all models, the cold scratching shed is permanently connected to the barn. This means that no additional work is required when moving the barn.
Typically, the cold scratching shed is ordered together with the mobile barn. Retrofitting is possible, but only if the option for later extension has been ordered.
