Day-old chick to farm gate
One plot. Identical buildings.
Waste flows between systems, not out of them.
A 10,000 m² plot near Tamatave runs as a single integrated operation. Identical modular buildings house the birds — each one follows the same blueprint, the same dimensions, the same materials. The design accounts for the east coast climate: wind-rated roofing, deep-litter floors that handle humidity, and rainwater capture sized for the rainfall.
Modular
Identical buildings
Same blueprint replicated across the site. Biosecurity-isolated, all-in-all-out batches.
Climate-designed
Built for the east coast
Wind-rated roofing, deep-litter floors, rainwater capture. Designed for 3,000 mm/yr and cyclone season.
Integrated
Closed loops
Waste streams flow between systems instead of out of them. Every output is an input somewhere else.
One gutter, one downpipe, one blueprint.
Each house uses a central pillar line that splits the building into two lean-to spans under a mono-pitch roof, so rainwater drains to one side, into one gutter, through one downpipe. Simple, cheap, replicable.
Module overview
The deep-litter floor
A bioactive deep-litter floor handles humidity, disease pressure, and waste — in place.
Wood chips + bamboo leaves laid deep as the base layer
Beneficial microbes establish; litter composts in place
Birds live drier, healthier; ammonia stays low
Turned out between batches as usable compost
Houses are fully demountable — matters for biosecurity and for replication.
From day-old chick to farm gate in six weeks.
Day 0
Day-old chicks arrive
Brooder house. Brooders rotate so a new batch can start regularly.
Week 3
Move to production
All-in-all-out. One age group, one batch. House cleaned between cycles.
Week 6
Ready for processing
Multiple batches a year per house. Capacity grows as modules come online.
Year 2
Layers come online
Eggs into local supply once the broiler line is stable.
Better welfare, better meat.
The deep-litter floor and modular design aren’t decorative. Lower stocking density, all-in-all-out batches, and biosecurity isolation between houses produce healthier birds with less reliance on routine antibiotics. We’re not certified organic and don’t plan to chase the label. The system speaks for itself or it doesn’t.
| At Meva Farms | Conventional | |
| Stocking density | 4 birds / m² | 15–20 birds / m² |
| Floor | Deep-litter bioactive | Slatted / concrete |
| Batches | All-in-all-out, isolated | Continuous / mixed |
| Routine antibiotics | No | Common |
| Feed origin | Mostly on-site | Largely imported |
| Certification | None pursued | Varies |
