The MELLER Euro 2000 husbandry system is designed to comply with the EC directive so that it can also be used after January 1, 2012. After this date, only husbandry systems that conform to the directive are permitted. The Euro 2000 also offers the familiar, proven features of MELLER batteries: compartments easily accessible through large sliding doors; stainless steel nipple drinkers with a water collecting gutter; large-volume air channel for manure drying; manure removal with P.P. belts; feeding by way of feed chain or feed carriage; egg saver to ensure that the eggs roll down gently; and egg collection system with egg lift or elevator.
