The strips of 1stEPS Chickpaper are placed over the floor of the brooder to create a clean and comfortable environment for the newly hatched chicks. 1stEPS Chickpaper is a fundamental tool in chick farming, as it offers numerous advantages for animal health and for the profitability of your company. The paper strips are placed over the floor of the brooder to create a clean and comfortable environment for the newly hatched chicks. The paper on the floor encourages the chicks to move around and find feed easily. 

This is especially important in the first days of life, when chicks are at their most vulnerable and need quick and easy access to feed. 1stEPS Chickpaper helps maintain a healthy and hygienic growing environment: the paper absorbs the chicks’ first faeces, which are rich in bacteria and can present a risk to animal health. This helps keep the environment cleaner and significantly reduces the risk of injury and infections. Importantly, the risk of chicks breaking their legs is also reduced, which contributes to better general welfare Using 1stEPS Chickpaper can increase profitability by up to 5% per brooding cycle.
