ABSTRACT:
A broiler rearing unit comprises an elongate housing which defines a continuous elongate space able to accommodate birds from chicks through to maturity and allow them to exercise, and having a floor 9 which extends longitudinally of, and is movable along, the space so that birds can be transported on the floor to one end of the space for removal from the housing. The floor comprises a series of load-supporting elements 10 which are releasably connected end-to-end and can be successively detached from the remaining elements when they reach the end of the space. Each load-supporting element in turn has drive imparted to it, suitably by a motor driven portable drive assembly, as it reaches the leading end of the floor and the drive is transmitted to the other elements of the floor through the connections between the elements. The supporting surface of each load-supporting element is formed by a perforate, flexible, moulded plastics mat 11 which is supported in tension over a rigid framework 12 including side bearers 15 provided with hooks 20 and keeper pins 21 by means of which the elements are releasably connected together.
