Health problems for hygiene reasons

Annette and Markus Witten have been rearing turkeys on their farm in Rheda-Wiedenbrück since 1978. The advantage: the Witten family knows all about the feed concepts, health status and performance data of their animals.

The farm also strictly implements further steps to improve hygiene: Annette and Markus Witten now rinse the drinking troughs, including the nipples, before each new housing. They also clean them regularly during the rounds. The family pays particular attention to the cleanliness of the bedding material and the employees, as they are a source of unwanted germs.
