VAL-CO® and ONCE® (by Signify®) Announce Exclusive Partnership

VAL-CO® and ONCE® (by Signify®)  are excited to announce their exclusive partnership – bringing the revolutionary Optient® gradient lighting system to the US and Canadian poultry industries through select VAL-CO Distribution partners.

Optient is a patent pending gradient lighting system  focused on optimizing animal health and productivity.

Drawing inspiration from nature and science, Optient uses gradient lighting to mimic the varied lighting environments found in the wild, promoting the natural behavior of chickens, keeping flocks calm and stress-free and resulting in improved animal welfare. By utilizing energy-efficient LED technology, Optient can also reduce energy usage by up to 70%, making it a greener choice for poultry farmers.

Optient is the revolutionary solution that empowers growers and integrators by helping to improve feed conversion up to 4 points, reduce energy use by up to 70%, and improve animal welfare by keeping flocks calm and stress-free – leading to a happier and healthier farm.

VAL-CO, in addition to selling the Optient lighting system, also offers growers feeding, watering and ventilation systems to help their flocks’ performance. Since its inception, the FUZE ProLine pan feeding system by VAL-CO has regularly outperformed other poultry feeders in feed trials. The numerous pan and grill combinations, including the newest option – the grill-less feeder, give you more choices than ever before to find the perfect fit for your farm.

Growers that choose the FUZE saw improved feed conversion and happier, healthier birds. “Choosing VAL-CO was a no-brainer. I saw feed trial after feed trial of the VAL-CO FUZE ProLine feeder outperforming the competition. I just wouldn’t consider anything else.”
