Can green-shell laying hens be kept in cages? Cage-rearing methods and precautions
Abstract Green-shell laying hens can be kept in cages, though farms with relatively small numbers also keep them free-range. When raising green-shell laying hens, the chicken coop should be kept warm in cold weather and well ventilated for heat dissipation. Choose high-quality chicks, and feed a balanced, nutritious diet to increase egg production. In the later stage, pay attention to

Methods for setting up cages in yellow catfish cage culture
1. Cage frame The cage frame is the bamboo, wood and other materials that support the cage, and consists of the box frame and floats. Most are made from thick moso bamboo, Chinese fir and waste oil drums, and some are made from steel (angle steel) and other materials. The side length of the box frame should generally be 0.5-1 m greater than the side length of the cage, and the spacing between boxes is 2-3 m.

Sharing Experience in Micro-Cage Culture of Yellow Catfish
Setting up micro-cages in ponds used for culturing other aquatic products to raise yellow catfish requires little investment, yields quick results, and is easy to operate. Cage setup. The cage is sewn from polyethylene netting, 2 m long, 2 m wide, and 1.2 m high, with a mesh size of 1 cm. The cage uses a closed stretcher floating-fixed type, with a 9-mesh net cloth as a cushion layer at the bottom; the cushion layer edge is 20 cm high to reduce feed loss, and the upper part of the cage rises about 30 cm above the water surface. A square plastic basket made of 18-mesh polyethylene window screen, 10 cm high and 30 cm on each side, is used as a feeding platform and placed in the middle of the cage body, one per cage. The cages are set at the water inlet of the fish pond, and 1-3 cages can be placed per mu of fish pond. The cages can also be set in open waters with fresh water quality, sufficient dissolved oxygen, shelter from wind and sun, and no pollution, arranged in a straight line, with a cage spacing of 4 m and a row spacing of about 10 m. Water hyacinth or alligator weed is transplanted inside the cage to cover about 2/3 of the cage area.</p><p></p><p>Fingerling stocking. The cages are put into the water 1-2 weeks before fingerling stocking. The fingerlings are required to be disease-free and injury-free, robust, and uniform in size. Stock 100-150 large-size fingerlings weighing about 20 g each per square meter.</p><p>Feeding management.</p><p>① Feeding: Common feeds include small miscellaneous fish, snail and clam meat, earthworms, silkworm pupae, livestock and poultry viscera, and animal blood, etc. Feed according to the principles of fixed time, fixed location, fixed quality, and fixed quantity to ensure the yellow catfish eat enough and eat well and grow quickly.</p><p>② Water management: Keep the water quality fresh and the dissolved oxygen sufficient. Observe the fish activity every day, check whether the cage is damaged, remove sick and dead fish from the cage, and keep the water body inside the cage clean. Clean the cage once a week to ensure normal exchange of water inside and outside the cage, and adjust the height of the cage in time when the water level changes.</p><p>Disease prevention and control. Soak the cage in bleaching powder solution for 30 minutes before it enters the water; soak the fish body in salt solution before the fingerlings enter the cage to kill pathogens and parasites on the body surface; splash quicklime water over the whole cage for disinfection once every 10-15 days; regularly hang bags of copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate mixture; about every 20 days, make medicated bait with antibiotics and feed continuously for 2-3 days. Through the above measures, fish diseases can be prevented during the culture cycle.</p>

Detailed Explanation of Small Cage Culture Techniques for Tilapia
Small cage culture refers to high-density fish farming in small cages with a volume of 1-4 cubic meters. Because tilapia tolerates low dissolved oxygen and has strong disease resistance, it is relatively suitable for high-density cage culture. 1. Selection of culture conditions: Choose small cages in sheltered and sunny spots with broad water surface, stable water surface, no strong winds and waves, and a year-round water depth maintained above 5 m, with clear and pollution-free water quality, in reservoir branches, branch canals and other places; it is best to have a certain amount of slight flowing water, and the water flow speed is preferably 3-10 m per minute.

Experience Sharing on Placing Fish-Rearing Cages in Flat-Bottomed Rivers
In flat-bottomed rivers with a water depth of more than 2.5 m and little year-round variation in water level, fish farming with cages works very well. 1) Generally speaking, a height of 50 cm between the cage bottom and the riverbed is sufficient. Leaving a gap between the cage bottom and the riverbed facilitates water flow, which first adds oxygen and second serves to exchange water ⟦4 <p>In flat-bottomed rivers with a water depth of more than 2.5 m and little year-round variation in water level, fish farming with cages works very well. </p><p></p><p>1) Generally speaking, a height of 50 cm between the cage bottom and the riverbed is sufficient. Leaving a gap between the cage bottom and the riverbed facilitates water flow, which first adds oxygen and second serves to exchange water and improve water quality. The height of the cage body can be 2.5-3 m. After this depth is immersed in water, 50 cm of netting is left above the water surface to prevent jumping fish from escaping. It is best to cover the top with netting to prevent birds from stealing and eating the fish. </p><p>2) It must be noted that the cage should be placed in a sunny spot, a place with a gentle flow speed, or a place with backflow. As far as the whole river channel is concerned, backflow areas are often places where fish gather; backflow areas have gentle flow speeds and abundant feed, making them very suitable for fish growth. </p><p>3) If the river channel is not deep, moso bamboo can be driven in as stakes, the cage tied with ropes, and marker lines indicating the cage's draught depth marked on the stakes, making it easy to adjust in time and stabilize the cage depth. Use slip knots for the ropes to make it easy to raise and lower the cage body. </p><p>4) For this fixed-type cage, tie straight strip-like objects along the top and bottom ropes of the cage body; for example, thin bamboo poles can be used for the top and bottom ropes, and iron bars can also be used for the bottom rope, stretching the entire cage flat and straight, avoiding folding of the netting in the water and reducing capacity. Install rings at the four corners of the cage. When in use, fit the rings at the four corners onto the bamboo stakes, and the formed cage will be firmly tied to the bamboo stakes and ready for farming. The rings can also be tied to the bamboo stakes, four on the top and four on the bottom, using pull ropes to control the entire cage body, following the rise and fall of the water level, and adjusting the draught depth of the cage body in time. In places with gentle flowing water, feed is most abundant. When the cage body is flat and straight, the fish are most comfortable. </p>
