More and more farmers use layer battery cages to raise hens. The layout of the layer cages in the chicken house is particularly important. So how should the layer chicken cage be laid out? How to maximize the space utilization of the chicken cage through a reasonable layout?
Reasonable layer chicken cage layout is directly related to the production performance and egg production of chickens. Scientific layout can improve the yield and quality of eggs, thereby increasing the income of breeding owners. And the reasonable placement of the chicken farm can maximize the use of the available space. Increase the capacity of the chicken house, increase the scale of breeding, and reduce the cost of breeding. The scientific layout can reduce the risk of disease transmission, facilitate isolation and treatment, and protect the health of the entire flock. Therefore, the reasonable placement of battery chicken cages also plays an important role in the prevention and control of poultry diseases.
The rationality of the layout also involves the distribution and utilization of feed. Set up feed stations reasonably to reduce feed waste. Also make sure that all birds are adequately getting enough feed. A good layout can ensure air circulation, maintain a stable temperature and humidity, and provide comfortable living environment for the chickens.
And the reasonable layout of the chicken cage in the chicken house also has an environmental protection function. For example, the manure produce by poultry during feeding can be effectively degraded. This helps the environment. This proves that the rational arrangement of layer battery cages in a modern farm has many advantages.
What should be considered in the layout of battery chicken cages?
Reasonable layout of battery chicken cages can help improve breeding efficiency, ensure the health and welfare of chickens, and achieve sustainable development of the breeding industry. So what aspects should considered when layout chicken battery cages?
1. House size and cage size. House size and layer chicken cage size should match each other. Make sure that the layer cage can be placed and that the layers have enough free space.
2. The number of layers of battery chicken cages. According to the scale of breeding and the height of the chicken house, consider the setting of the number of cage for layers. Then stack the cage layers reasonably to make full use of the vertical space and improve the breeding efficiency. Generally, the chicken house is 3.5 meters high, and it is suitable to place 4 tiers of A-type layer cages.
3. When placing layer cages, ensure that the environmental parameters such as ventilation, temperature, and humidity in the house can meet the growth needs of hens. Maintain a comfortable living environment.
4. Adequate feed and water. When placing layer cages, ensure adequate feed and water supply. And reasonably set up feeders and waterers to avoid waste and pollution.
5. Set up reasonable dredging passages between layer battery cages. It is convenient for breeders to observe, manage and operate.
6. When laying out the layer chicken cages reasonably, pay attention to the arrangement of day lighting to ensure that the chickens can get enough natural light. This will help stimulate egg production and maintain the biological clock of the chickens.
7. Ensure health and comfort. The health and comfort of the hens should be taken as the starting point to ensure that the chickens grow and lay eggs in a suitable environment.
How can the layer chicken cage of 20,000 hens be laid out?
In July 2023, we received such a message: Please help my chicken house to properly arrange layer cages. My chicken farm size is 88*12*3.5m.
As a poultry equipment manufacturer, providing customers with quality services and expertise in designing the proper placement of layer battery cage cages is of utmost importance. Here’s how a professional poultry equipment manufacturer can approach the task.
Understanding Customer Needs. To begin with, the manufacturer should have open communication with the customer to understand their specific requirements, goals, and constraints. This includes knowing the size of the chicken house (88123.5 meters) and the desired capacity (20,000 chickens).
Selecting the Right Cage Type. Based on the customer’s requirements and the expertise of the poultry equipment manufacturer. Suitable cage type is selecte. In this case, the 160A layer cage has choose as the best fit for the given specifications.
Designing the Layout. The poultry equipment manufacturer’s professional team should carefully design the layout, considering the available space. The dimensions of the chicken house, and the optimal placement of the 160 A type layer cages. The layout plan involves dividing the chicken house into three columns and placing 41 groups of cages in each column, totaling 123 groups of layer chicken cages.
Space Utilization: The poultry equipment manufacturer should focus on maximizing space utilization while ensuring adequate room for the chickens to move comfortably within the cages. The layout should optimize vertical space, utilizing the height of the chicken house to stack the cages effectively.
Safety and Comfort: A professional poultry equipment manufacturer prioritizes the safety and comfort of the birds. The layout plan should ensure sufficient ventilation, lighting, and proper environmental conditions for the well-being of the chickens.
Quality of Equipment: The poultry equipment provided by the manufacturer should be of high quality, sturdy, and designed to withstand the rigors of poultry farming. Durable equipment not only ensures the well-being of the chickens but also provides a long-lasting investment for the customer.
Installation and Training. As part of the quality services, the manufacturer should provide installation support to ensure the cages are correctly set up. Additionally, they should offer training sessions for the farm staff to properly manage and maintain the equipment.
After-Sales Support: A professional poultry equipment manufacturer stands by its products and offers after-sales support to address any issues or concerns the customer may have.
Now the poultry farming industry is booming, and farmers are more and more fond of buying battery chicken cages for intensive farming. Proper placement of poultry cages in the house becomes crucial. The above scheme is a case of a certain customer. If you also want to know more, please contact us.
