Why Is the Chick´s Initial Environment So Important?
The first days after hatching are crucial for the health and development of chicks. During this critical period, contact with improper surfaces can lead to slipping, leg injuries, infections, or difficulties in locating food and water.
Using a support like crepe paper, specifically designed for the poultry industry, helps create a non-slip, warm, and absorbent surface that reduces stress and encourages adaptation to the new environment during the process of raising chicken.
Benefits of Crepe Paper in Raising Chicken
Non-Slip Surface for Better Grip
The textured, wrinkled surface of crepe paper offers excellent grip, preventing chicks from slipping. This is especially important to avoid joint deformities or mobility issues caused by slippery surfaces such as bare plastic trays or uncovered metal floors.
Reduced Stress and Enhanced Wellbeing
Crepe paper creates a more natural and cushioned environment, lowering the incidence of physical trauma in chicks. Its pleasant texture mimics the maternal nest, providing a cozy environment that reduces stress in the initial hours of raising chicken.
High Absorbency
Thanks to its porous composition, crepe paper effectively absorbs excess moisture, droppings, and other fluids present in incubation trays. This absorbent capacity improves hygiene, limits bacterial growth, and reduces infection risks.
Improved Survival Rates
A clean, dry, stable, and warm environment is key to ensuring high survival rates during the first 48 hours of raising chicken. Crepe paper helps create these ideal conditions, especially during transportation or in high-humidity environments.
Technical Features of Crepe Paper for Raising Chicken
Crepe paper used in poultry farming is made from virgin or recycled cellulose fibers, with an optimized weight (typically between 25 and 40 g/m²) that ensures adequate resistance without tearing or shedding fibers during use.
It is available in precut rolls or sheets to suit different hatchery needs. At Arrosi, we manufacture crepe paper with customizable dimensions, weight, creping level, and absorption to meet specific client requirements for raising chicken.
Practical Application in Raising Chicken
Quick and Safe Installation
The paper is placed directly onto incubation trays or brooder floors before egg transfer or hatching. It´s a simple solution that requires no tools or adhesives.
Facilitates Monitoring and Cleaning
After the incubation or initial brooding phase, the crepe paper can be easily removed, allowing quick area cleaning and visual inspection of tray conditions.
Compatible with Automatic Systems
For large industrial facilities, automatic crepe paper rolls can be integrated into production lines without affecting ventilation or control of temperature and humidity—ideal for scalable raising chicken operations.
Sustainability and Responsible Disposal
Crepe paper is biodegradable and compostable, making it environmentally friendly once used. Unlike plastic or textile liners, it leaves no polluting residue and doesn’t require complex cleaning processes.
At Arrosi, we promote the use of responsibly sourced paper, with certifications that guarantee sustainable forest management and minimal environmental impact throughout the value chain.
