There are more and more farmers raising hens, and they are all using battery cage for chickens and breeding equipment to raise chickens. How should the hens prevent the stress reaction in the chicken cage and Poultry Rearing Equipment? Here are some suggestions.

1. Farmers should start from the growth characteristics of laying hens to provide a good, quiet and comfortable growing environment for the laying hens. The control of temperature and humidity, as well as the management of ventilation should be scientific and reasonable, avoiding the sheds caused by poor ventilation. Moisture and air pollution, etc., to avoid the stress of environmental failure.

2. Farmers must ensure that the stability of feeding during the whole breeding process, such as laying water, feeding, disinfection and other environments, must be in order, time is regular, farmers should pay attention to not being able to break water, lack of materials .

3. During the breeding process, the farmers should control the environment of the chicken house, such as fixing the time of the switch lights, cooling the work in the summer, keeping warm in the winter, and preventing the adverse effects of high and low temperature on the laying hens. In the autumn when the temperature changes greatly, timely prevention and control measures should be taken. In the rainy season, work to prevent storms is also needed.

4. In the farm where the laying hens are raised, the farmers should be careful not to yell and scream, and pay attention to the chicken houses not to be built in noisy places.

5. The feed ingredients required for different growth stages of laying hens are different. Therefore, the farmers must change the feed at a fixed stage, and there must be a transitional stage in the process of replacing the feed, so as to ensure the smooth adaptation of the chicken.

1. Laying Hen Cages

A-Type Laying Hen Cages

• Design: These cages are structured to house laying hens in a comfortable environment. Each compartment typically accommodates 3-4 birds.
• Advantages: Cost-effective and easy to manage, making them ideal for small to medium-sized farms.
• Features: These cages often come with basic feeding and drinking systems, and they can be upgraded with additional automation if needed.

H-Type Laying Hen Cages

• Design: H-type cages are designed for larger operations and can be stacked in multiple tiers to house a higher number of birds.
• Advantages: Maximize space utilization and come equipped with advanced automated systems for feeding, drinking, and egg collection.
• Features: These cages are highly efficient and reduce labor costs, making them suitable for large-scale commercial farms.

2. Broiler Cages

H-Type Broiler Cages

• Design: These cages are designed to house broilers in a controlled environment, promoting healthy growth and efficient feed conversion.
• Advantages: Ideal for large-scale operations, offering high-density housing and advanced automation for feeding and waste management.
• Features: Equipped with automated systems to ensure consistent feed and water supply, and effective waste removal.

Broiler Flat Cages

• Design: These cages provide ample space for broilers to move around, promoting natural growth and reducing stress.
• Advantages: Suitable for both small and large farms, offering flexibility and ease of management.
• Features: These cages can be integrated with automated feeding and drinking systems to enhance efficiency.

3. Automated Systems

• Feeding Systems: Automated feeding systems ensure consistent and efficient feed distribution, reducing wastage and labor costs.
• Drinking Systems: Automated drinking systems provide a constant supply of clean water, promoting healthy growth.
• Manure Cleaning Systems: Automated manure cleaning systems maintain a clean and hygienic environment, reducing the risk of disease.
• Egg Collection Systems: Automated egg collection systems streamline the process of gathering eggs, minimizing breakage and labor.

Conclusion

High-yield layers are the dream of every poultry farmer. The chickens living in poultry layer cages are more likely to have high yields. Because of the scientific and automated management, the chickens can lay eggs in a comfortable environment. 

1. Reduce density: Layers have more feathers, and it is difficult to dissipate heat in summer, which makes them particularly afraid of heat. When the temperature gradually rises, farmers should reduce the density of chickens in time according to the temperature rise.
2. Heatstroke prevention and cooling: The users of layer cages are mostly closed chicken houses, which are difficult to ventilate and dissipate heat by themselves. Therefore, farmers can use poultry ventilation systems to ventilate and cool the chicken houses.
3. Ensure drinking water: Affected by high temperature, the water consumption of laying hens in summer is higher than that in other seasons. Farmers can use the automated water supply system in battery chicken cages, which can ensure adequate drinking water in summer.
4. Scientific breeding: The feed intake of laying hens in summer will be affected by high temperature, so farmers should increase the content of various nutrients in the feed to ensure that they meet the nutritional standards for growth and production of laying hens. Laying hens.
5. Strengthen epidemic prevention: The high temperature in summer is a good period for mosquito breeding. Mosquitoes and mosquitoes are a good way to spread diseases. Therefore, farmers must do a good job in disinfection and epidemic prevention of chicken houseto prevent diseases.

The above are the measures and key points for the breeder to ensure the high yield of laying hens in the process of using poultry cages!

For chicken farmers, the peak period of egg production will always be encountered at some stage of the year. Under normal circumstances, laying hens begin their pre-production period from the age of 16 weeks, and enter the peak of laying eggs at the age of 25 weeks. Whether the feeding and management status during the peak period of laying hens meets the requirements of chicken growth and egg production will have a great influence on the egg production during the entire production period. Therefore, for chicken farmers, it is very important to manage the layer chickens during production.

It is advisable to complete the laying of the laying hens before the age of 18 weeks in order to make the chickens familiar with the environment as soon as possible. In order to adapt to the increase of chicken body weight, growth of the reproductive system and the demand for calcium, the laying hens can be fed at the age of 18 weeks and the culmination at the age of 20 weeks. The most suitable temperature for laying hens is 13°C～23°C. In winter, it is better to keep above 10°C. In summer, it is better to keep below 30°C. Maintain indoor air circulation and prevent various noises. Keep the environment and feeding, drinking, lighting and other stability.
