Pinless peepers:


The highly improved varieties of birds such as B.V.380 and Athulya are aggressive. This aggressiveness may at times lead to injurious pecking and sometimes may lead to cannibalism. In poultry Hitech farms, cannibalism can cause up to 40 % loss in terms of mortality, lower egg production, stress leading to other ailments etc. In this regard, KVK has introduced and popularized Pinless peepers. The equipment acts by obstructing the frontal vision of the bird so that the birds cannot peck each other. There is a 90% success rate in reducing cases of cannibalism as well as egg eating vices
