1.Select the House Layout.
A. Optional Mid Line Controls may be used for partial house brooding. See .
B. Systems with line lengths over 400’ [122 m] should be split in the center, as shown in 2. This will reduce
auger running time and eliminate the need for Mid-Line Controls for partial house brooding.
2.Determine the Feed Bin location.
3.Determine the Brood Curtain location.
4.Determine the location for the End Control Pans, and if used the Mid Line Control Pans. The Feeder
Control Pans should be at least 10’ [3 m] from the Wall or Brood Curtain.
5.Determine the distance to the Feeder Line from the Side Wall.
6.Determine the distance from the Feed Hoppers to the End Wall for a Straight Line Feeding System.
