Layer Barns

Eggs are a driving agricultural and economic force in Indiana, with the state consistently sitting in the top five for egg production in the country. While that does mean your farm has competition, it also means you’ve got access to great resources.

Michiana Equipment is dedicated to helping you access reliable supplies, retrofit your current layer barns, and carefully design and build new facilities. We understand your needs, and our main goal is your future success.

Benefits of a Well-Built Layer Barn

When it comes to choosing layer barn builders that best suit your needs, you want a team that considers the benefits for you, your workers, your livestock, and your bottom line. A well-designed layer barn can provide you with many benefits, including:

HIGHER YEILD

Proper square footage based on flock size, reliable temperature and climate control, and programmable lighting for ideal day length means less stress for your animals and the perfect conditions for optimized egg laying.

HEALTHIER FLOCK

Adjustable air flow and ventilation, continued access to clean water and food sources, regularly cleaned and replenished litter, and optimal space per bird will all help to reduce instances of disease and keep your flock healthy–a must for population retention and production.

EASE FOR WORKERS

Your barn design should consider your workers as well as your flock. Space and power for egg processing equipment, access to nests for quicker collecting, the ability to herd and manage birds for veterinarian care, and ease of sanitization will all help to make your workers’ jobs easier, safer, and more efficient.

SCALABILITY

Planning for your current needs is a great starting point, but together, we can plan for your growth and development, too. Creating facilities with the ability to increase your number of roosts and nests, include more brooding areas, and expand your indoor square footage and outdoor yard spaces will make your business more easily scalable and able to keep up with increased demand.
