Easy-to-handle battery cage system for layers of poultry farming
With several advantages, especially improved egg production, battery cage system is being a popular choice for poultry farms. LIVI Machinery provide battery cage system for layers, which benefits many poultry farmers aboard.
What is battery cage system for layers?
A battery cage system is a type of housing system commonly used for layer poultry farming. In this system, chickens are housed in cages designed to optimize egg production and bird welfare.
Battery cages are made of galvanized wire mesh and are stacked vertically in multiple tiers. Each cage compartment houses a certain number of birds, providing individual space for laying hens.
Battery cages are equipped with feed troughs and water nipples or drinkers. They are accessible to the hens within their cage compartment. This ensures easy access to feed and water, promoting optimal nutrition and hydration.
Two types of battery cages for layers
- A type battery cage system
A type battery cage system for layers has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and maintenance, high selectivity of automation equipment, low cost, fast harvest. Customers can choose pure chicken cage, semi-automated or highly automated equipment according to their different requirements.
- H type battery cage system
It has the characteristics of high automation and high density. It effectively save land and labor costs, separate the chicken coop from the human living area, and avoid the spread of disease. The automatic manure removal system effectively reduce environmental pollution, coupled with intelligent environmental control system, is the best choice for intensive and large-scale poultry farms.
Advantages of battery cage system for layers
Battery cage system for layers offers several advantages for poultry farming.
1.Efficient use of space: Battery cages allow for vertical stacking, making efficient use of limited space. This system enables farmers to house a large number of birds in a relatively small area, maximizing the capacity for egg production.
2. Easy management and monitoring: The individual compartments in battery cages make it easier to manage and monitor each bird. Farmers can easily observe the health, behavior, and productivity of individual hens, allowing for targeted interventions and better flock management.
3. Reduced risk of egg damage and cannibalism: The design of battery cages helps to minimize the chances of eggs being trampled or damaged by the hens. Additionally, the individual compartments reduce the risk of cannibalism, aggression, or pecking among the birds.
4.Improved biosecurity: Battery cages provide a controlled environment that helps reduce the risk of diseases and parasites. The separation between birds and their droppings minimizes direct contact, leading to improved biosecurity and a healthier flock.
5. Easy manure management: Battery cages typically have a collection system beneath the cages, allowing for efficient removal and management of droppings. This helps maintain a cleaner and more hygienic environment for the birds, reducing the risk of diseases and improving overall flock health.
