From Cages to Organic Rearing: A 25+ Year Legacy
Jørgen Lodberg, a passionate organic poultry farmer from Denmark, has transformed his farm into a thriving operation over decades. Since purchasing the property in 1996, he has embraced innovation and sustainability, switching from traditional caged hens to organic farming in 1998. In 2003, he expanded into organic rearing, and in 2009, Landmeco became a pivotal part of his success story.
The Flex Raise Advantage (Formerly “Christmas Tree”)
Lodberg affectionately refers to Landmeco’s Flex Raise Aviary System as the “Christmas Tree” due to its distinctive, multi-level design. This innovative system provides the perfect environment for rearing young hens, ensuring they are well-prepared for their transition to egg-laying.
“The animals are happy, frolic around, and jump up. They are well-trained, making the transition to laying hens smooth,” Lodberg shared.
The Flex Raise system is designed to encourage natural behavior, allowing pullets to learn perching and navigation, ensuring they become healthy, well-adjusted egg layers.
Easy Maintenance and Efficient Cleaning
Beyond the benefits for the birds, the Flex Raise system offers exceptional ease of use for farmers.
“It’s easy to handle. We can fold it together when the barn is empty, making cleaning quick and efficient,” Lodberg explained.
This simplicity reduces labor time and ensures optimal hygiene, a key factor in maintaining healthy flocks.
Proven Success with Landmeco
For Lodberg, partnering with Landmeco has been a clear success.
“We’ve had great success with Landmeco,” he emphasized, pointing to the system’s durability, ease of use, and the health of his birds.
With more than a decade of experience using the Flex Raise system, Lodberg’s testimonial underscores the value of a system designed with both birds and farmers in mind.
