Fibre should be provided directly in the building. We advise the use of a coarse fibre such as straw, alfalfa (lucerne), wood shavings, rice/oat husk, sillage, etc. These materials must be available in the building through round feeders or directly as a ball on the scratching area. Birds must have a free access to fibre sourcesat all times. We advise not spreading fibre directly on the floor. To prevent floor eggs, fibre supply must be introduced after the peak of production when the birds are well trained to use the nest.
