FUZE® V GRILL-LESS FEEDER PANS AVAILABLE WITH ONCE ILLUMINATION

12/24/2025

VAL-CO, will promote the combination of their FUZE feed pan LINES in association with ONCE by Signify Optient lighting. Synergy from the two systems will promote flock uniformity with optimal growth and yield.

 

The FUZE® V Grill-Less feed pan was designed in cooperation with leading growers.  Objectives were to reduce chick mortality and to improve feed conversion efficiency.  Features of the FUZE® V include:

 

  • Access to feed in pans from day of placement

 

  • An adjustable collar to regulate feed level according to flock age

 

  • The lip of the pan is designed to prevent scratching and wastage

 

The Optient lighting system from ONCE by Signify is installed above the feed line to attract broilers of all ages in accordance with natural behavior.  Field trials show an improvement in feed conversion of up to four points at the time of harvest.  Energy consumption is reduced by up to 70 percent compared to conventional LED ceiling lights. Some growers use only the Optient installation after the end of the brooding period.

 

 The modular LED lights are easy to install using a patented twist-and-hook arrangement.

 

VAL-CO has been appointed as the exclusive U.S. distributor for the Optient lighting system and can supply installations separately for retrofit or as a combined package.
