Farming Systems – single age & stage
From 2000 Gressingham moved all their duck production to a single stage system, this means that the ducklings start their life in the same building they will complete their growth in. Also we operate an ALL in ALL out system, a 7 week turn round cycle , kill between 35 -44 days 2.65 – 3.4 kg
