Detailed Introduction to Common Models and Specifications of Broiler Chicken Cages

Broiler chicken cages are chicken cages specifically used for raising broiler chickens. Raising broiler chickens in broiler chicken cages allows them to stay in the cage from entry until being sent to the slaughterhouse, with no need to transfer them to another cage, saving the trouble of catching chickens. So what are the models and specifications of broiler chicken cages?

1. Introduction to broiler chicken cages

Common broiler cage rearing is all multi-tier cage rearing, with 3 or 4 tiers stacked, and its design and construction are basically the same as layer chicken cages. High-density rearing saves land, saving about 50% of land compared with free-range farming. Centralized management saves energy and resources and reduces the incidence of poultry diseases. The unique cage door design effectively prevents chickens from moving their heads up and down while eating and wasting feed. It can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the site, and an automatic drinking water system can be added.

2. Models and specifications of broiler chicken cages

The basic specifications of broiler chicken cage models are: height 530-400mm, width 700-900mm, depth 540-600mm, able to hold 12-15 broiler chicks, with a single unit size of 140*70*28cm. Common specifications and models include: three tiers with twelve cage positions, size 140cm*155cm*170cm; four tiers with sixteen cage positions, size 140cm*195cm*170cm. The number of broiler chickens that can be raised is 100-140.

3. Advantages of broiler chicken cages

1. Saves space and increases rearing density: cage rearing density is more than 3 times higher than floor rearing density.

2. Sturdy and durable: complete equipment for cage-reared broiler chickens uses a hot-dip galvanizing process, is corrosion-resistant and aging-resistant, and can have a service life of up to 15~20 years.

3. Saves breeding feed: cage-reared chickens can greatly save breeding feed. When chickens are raised in cages, their amount of movement is reduced, energy consumption is low, and feed waste is reduced. Cage rearing can effectively save more than 25% of breeding costs.

4. High degree of automation: automatic feeding, drinking water, manure cleaning, and wet curtain cooling, centralized management, automatic control, saving energy consumption, improving labor productivity, reducing manual feeding costs, and greatly improving the breeding efficiency of farmers.
