If you have plans to start or expand your chicken farm, you will definitely consider what kind of poultry chicken farming equipment is suitable for your farm based on the number of chickens, architectural design, location, labor, and electricity.

 

Chicken battery cages are widely used in commercial chicken farms because they not only breed large numbers but also save space and feed. In addition, chickens are separated from their feces, so cages reduce the spread of disease and the risk of infection. Farmers should consider the type, price, and material when purchasing chicken cage equipment.

There are two types of chicken cages: H-type battery layer cage and A-type battery layer cage. The chicken capacity is divided into groups that can raise 96, 120, 128 and 160 chickens. Both the 3-layer and 4-layer chicken coops are very popular among many farmers. Due to the different weights and sizes of chickens in different countries, the cage size can be customized. For example, our four-layer layer cage (160 birds capacity) is more popular in the African market, while our three-layer layer cage (96 birds capacity) is suitable for customers in the Philippines.

 

If the chicken manure is not cleaned up in time, it will cause high concentrations of ammonia in the chicken house, which will damage the respiratory system and eyes of the hen. Regular cleaning of chicken manure is conducive to chicken growth and egg production. So the role of the manure scraper is very important. Before installing the manure scraper, you need to build a manure passage. The size of the aisle is determined by the layout of your chicken cage. After cleaning the chicken manure, don’t throw it away casually. Dry manure can be sold directly. Fertilizers can be used for plants or provide a source of biogas. Then you will have another income.

The nipple drinking system of the chicken cage is a closed water system. Farmers use water tanks, water regulators, water pipes and nipple drinkers to make it a complete drinking water system. The nipple drinker is the most ideal water supply equipment because it not only saves water resources but also prevents bacteria.

 

There are two types of automatic feeding systems: gantry type loader and step type loader. They can serve 10,000 chickens in ten minutes. If your farming volume is relatively small, there is no need to use them. Farmers can choose the trough to place chicken feed for the chickens to eat. A high-quality feed tank should be made of pure PVC material because of its flexibility and corrosion resistance. A person weighing 80 kg can stand on it without cracking.
