BIGFARMNET – MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Bits and bytes:
even poultry goes Digital!

Sure, broilers, breeders and other poultry do not need computers. But your farm probably does not work efficiently without support from digital devices. BigFarmNet, our unique management software, makes digitalisation easy, fast and secure – and your farm more profitable.

Digitalisation is our and your innovation driver. Big Dutchman identified this important trend as early as in 2005. We used the time we have had since then to provide you with a thought-out and reliable management tool you can use to get your farm ready for the future. More than 27500 licenses have been activated worldwide, confirming that we are on the right track. Let our experts advise you!
