Volailles

Aujourd’hui, Zootests propose une large gamme de dispositifs d'essais couvrant la plupart des productions de volailles (reproducteurs, poulettes, pondeuses, poulets de chair, canards, dindes).
Les dispositifs d'essais Zootests sont originaux et complets: ils possèdent la même puissance statistique que l’expérimentation "STATION" et la même ambiance (température, humidité, ammoniac, luminosité) et pression sanitaire qu’un bâtiment de production "standard".

Tous les protocoles présentés ci-après sont à titre indicatif, ils sont bien entendu modulables en fonction des attentes des différents clients.
