Astro Turf Nest Pad – 20mm

The AstroTurf Nest Pad is made from a special polyethylene composition. The blades are tapered for better wear resistance. The rounded tops contribute to the hens’ comfort, help to ensure a safe egg roll-off and reduce the number of feathers clinging to the shell. AstroTurf is suitable for both breeders and commercial layers. The chestnut colour was chosen after intensive research.
The open structure of the new Nest Pad combined with the special shape and high flexibility of its individual blades, ensure that the eggs roll onto the conveyor belt safely and without contamination.
Hens find nests fitted with AstroTurf attractive. They seem to prefer AstroTurf to any other material. As a result, the number of floor eggs is negligible.
