When it comes to chicks, the hot topic is definitely the litter’s temperature in the comfort zone for chicks. This is why Zaxe came up with the Litter Probe!
Inexpensive and easy to use, the Zaxe Litter Probe informs you of the temperature of the shaving before chick arrival and is also used to monitor the floor temperature throughout the grow period.
Before the chick arrival, you put the probe directly on the shaving in the chick’s starting zone. It is used immediately when the shaving is spread in the barn and informs you of the temperature a few days before the birds’ arrival. That said, the day they arrive, you are sure that the floor temperature is as desired.
After that, the Litter Probe is placed under the shaving to monitor floor temperature during the grow period. When the room temperature becomes the same as the probe’s, you know that your birds are laying on a shaving that is warm enough to increase the minimal ventilation of your barn. The perfect product for the comfort of your chicks!
