The FG- Finishing Midlantic Poultry Pad: A Sustainable Solution for the Poultry Industry
Posted by AF LONGBOTTOM

The poultry industry has been evolving for decades, and Filtration Group-Finishing has played a significant role in that transformation. For over 35 years, we’ve been providing top-notch solutions for hatcheries, ensuring the highest standards for both bird and operational quality. Our flagship product, the Filtration Group-Finishing Midlantic Poultry Pad, is designed to address the specific needs of hatcheries, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly solution that improves hatch rates, bird quality, and overall operational efficiency. Here's why the Midantic Poultry Pad is revolutionizing the poultry industry.
Designed for Success: Optimal Hatchery Conditions
The Midlantic Poultry Pad is specifically crafted for hatch trays to ensure maximum airflow inside hatching machines. This airflow is vital for maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity levels during the hatching process, which directly impacts the health and quality of the birds. The pad’s unique design allows for better ventilation while simultaneously capturing fluff and airborne contaminants that could hinder hatch quality.
In addition to improving airflow, the pad provides a stable, non-slip surface for the newly hatched birds, enabling them to achieve excellent footing. This feature significantly reduces leg problems in chicks, which are often caused by slippery or uneven surfaces. As a result, the chicks can get onto their feet quicker, contributing to better overall bird health and a cleaner hatchery environment.
Improving Hatch Rates & Bird Quality
Studies have shown that using the Filtration Group-Finishing Midlantic Poultry Pad can result in up to a 4% increase in saleable poults per tray. This means that the pads not only help hatch better-quality birds but also lead to more efficient operations. The reduction in egg breakage and contamination, along with improved bird footing, contributes to healthier, more robust chicks that thrive in their early stages of life.
In addition to cleaner birds, the poultry pads help maintain cleaner equipment. This is important because a cleaner hatchery and equipment environment reduces the risk of contamination and disease transmission, leading to healthier flocks and better-quality birds overall.
A Green, Sustainable Choice
At Filtration Group-Finishing, sustainability is a core value. Our poultry pads are made from 100% recycled kraft paper, which is not only biodegradable but also contributes to reducing the environmental impact of poultry production. Did you know that for every ton of recycled paper used, we save:
- 17 trees
- 7,000 gallons of water
- 463 gallons of oil
- 4,100 kWh of electricity (enough to power an average home for 5 months)
- 1.5 cubic yards of landfill space
By choosing the Midantic Poultry Pad, you’re making an eco-friendly choice that aligns with sustainability goals, all while enjoying the benefits of a superior product.
Customizable for Your Needs
The Filtration Group-Finishing Midlantic Poultry Pad is available in a variety of sizes to fit most equipment used in the poultry industry. Depending on airflow needs and customer preference, the pads can be ordered with or without backing and can be produced in two- or three-ply options. These customizable features ensure that you can get the best performance for your specific hatchery operations.
Additionally, our pads are consistent and have no loose fibers, which helps keep the hatchery cleaner than some alternative products. This consistency ensures a high-quality, reliable product with every order.
