It is the brains behind the Automation of your mobile egg farming trailers or
egg poultry houses.
Once you have decided to start your Egg farming enterprise your main goal
is to make your farming experience profitable and enjoyable.
This is where the ChickenMaster and ChickenMaster PRO play their parts.
The ChickenMaster PRO is the
ONLY Automated free range egg farming controller which incorporates our proprietary Latitude and Longitude feature for your automated functions.
This feature negates the need for the farmer to have to change time clock/timer settings as the seasons change throughout the year.
There are some products that use a light sensor which can be triggered inadvertently by vehicle headlights, moonlit nights and can be inaccurate on cloudy days.
The ChickenMaster PRO knows when the Sun will rise and set based on your actual geographic location anywhere in the world.
All the Sunrise and Sunset variables can be fine tuned by the farmer offering amazing flexibility to suit each individual farmer and their particular farming activities.
ChickenMaster PRO is now available.
(All Control Switchboards supplied from January 2025 will now incorporate the
all new ChickenMaster PRO )Version 02.03A)

lighting schedules automatically.
This means your lights are only ON when they need to be.
