Who We Are
Big Dutchman is a company devoted to and passionate about providing farmers with animal centric, profitable solutions that enable increased farm productivity.
We have been providing expert farming solutions to farmers around the globe since 1938. This history not only ensures that our solutions are founded in hard won farming knowledge across a broad range of climates, but it also enables our teams from around the world to share farming wins that benefit our clients.
Big Dutchman Southern Africa has been helping local farmers with world class, Southern Africa tailored farming solutions since 1966, a history that continues to empower our team to innovate around Southern African specific farming problems.
What We Do
Big Dutchman Southern Africa provides a range of exciting and innovative farming equipment solutions for poultry and piggery farmers. Our tailored farming solutions can be retrofitted to bolster current infrastructure or designed from scratch for specific farm projects.
Scientific research on animal well-being and productivity, along with economic studies on farm profitability drives each Big Dutchman innovation.
As leaders in poultry and piggery farming equipment design and implementation, Big Dutchman German precision farming equipment empowers farmers with information on the animals they are raising while reducing animal stress and increasing animal hygiene and well-being. This combined with practical farm innovations such as farm buildings, feed mills, residue belts and more, enables farmers to reduce their labour costs while increasing the efficiency and profitability of their farm.
From bird eye sensitive lighting to piggery housing that takes the animal specific behaviours into account, Big Dutchman is not only the leader in farming efficiencies and profitability but also in animal well-being.
Regardless of whether your farm needs higher yields, animal and bird friendly housing or increased farm efficiencies, Big Dutchman has the farming equipment solution for you.
