Masonit tilting plate
- Improves and streamlines the monitoring of the nests
The plate stabilizes the temperature throughout the day, and you do not disturb the females when monitoring the nests. Heat and moisture are able to leave the nest. Therefore, it is important not to close off with straw under the masonit plate.
The masonit tilting plate is made from compacted wood chips and is produced in special dimensions or in standard dimensions, which covers the one room.
