In a semi-intensive system, building areas for the chickens are attached with fenced grazing ground.
Chickens can move freely around the fenced area but are not allowed to go outside.
This system allows chickens to frequent grazing freely.
Chicken can be provided with safe, clean and quality feeds and water, also reducing the risk of eating poisonous substances.
Flock health can be constantly monitored.
Chicken can also be protected from predators, which will reduce losses.
