With the increasing number of large-scale chicken farms, it is more contradictory for chicken farms to choose automated poultry cages for equipment, and they do not know how to choose. The following poultry equipment manufacturers will introduce to you how to make decisions on the selection of equipment for your reference

A Type Layer Cages

The laying hen equipment is a type A chicken coop. You can choose to install two types of manure cleaning: scraper cleaning and belt cleaning. It is a relatively early use of laying hen breeding equipment. If your coop can hold 5000-30000 birds. A-type battery layer cages are very suitable.

Advantage:

1. The cost is low, and the breeding density is higher than that of flat breeding.
2. The open area of each layer of chicken coop is large, even if it is an open chicken house, the ventilation effect is good.
3. Reasonable design, easy to operate,
4. Easy maintenance and long service life.
5. The easy-to-open spring-loaded door makes it easy to observe and move the pullets.

Shortcoming:

1. The area is relatively large, and the space utilization rate is low compared with the H-type chicken cages;
2. The labor intensity of workers is high;
3. The chicken manure on the upper tierof the chicken cage will fall to the chickens on the lower tier, which is not conducive to the health of the chickens and the integrity of the feathers.

H Type Poultry Cages

Chicken cages are tiered on top of each other like buildings. This kind of equipment was developed later, due to the increasing shortage of land resources, less and less land can be used for breeding. Therefore, more and more customers increase the stocking density, just to save land, and the degree of intensification is getting higher and higher.

Advantage: 

1. Vertically battery chicken cages save more floor space, increase the number of feeding, reduce labor and management costs, and ultimately bring considerable profits to chicken farmers.
2. There is a manure removal belt at the bottom of each cage, which is clean and hygienic, allowing the chickens to grow healthily and less pollution to the environment.
3. Small footprint, high space utilization, easy to achieve intensive and large-scale breeding;
4. Sliding cage door, the opening is convenient and large, and it is easier to catch chickens.

Shortcoming:

1. It adopts closed type and automatic temperature control, otherwise it is difficult to control the temperature inside the chicken house.
2. There are at least tens of thousands of chickens in a chicken house, and the risk factor is relatively high.

Based on the above situation, I believe everyone knows how to choose. The chicken farmer still choose the equipment that suits them according to their total amount of laying hens and investment.

Battery chicken cages to raise chickens live in cages, and the source of nutrition is feed. In order to ensure that the laying hens get balanced nutrition, farmers can choose and feed according to a series of nutrients to achieve balanced nutrition in the laying hens and ensure the laying hens Good egg production performance.

1. The content of salt should not be too high: Salt is a raw material and must be added in the process of preparing feed. It can increase appetite and prevent feathers and anus pecking. However, if the farmers add too much salt to the chicken feed, it will cause the laying hens to be thirsty and then need a lot of water, which will lead to excessive drinking water and frequent intense diarrhea. In addition, farmers should pay attention to the rich salt in fish meal, so farmers must control the amount of salt when adding, so as to avoid excessive salt in the feed, causing diarrhea in laying hens.
2. The amount of stone powder should not be too high: stone powder is also a raw material that farmers often add when preparing feed, but it should be noted that if the amount of stone powder in the diet is too high or increase too fast, it will cause excessive blood calcium in laying hens and increase The kidneys are burdened, causing the kidneys to swell. This will eventually lead to diarrhea. When preparing the feed, the editor reminds farmers that the amount of stone powder should be gradually increased with the increase in laying rate of laying hens, and should not be added too much at once.
3. Prevent mildew of raw materials: High temperature and high humidity can easily lead to mildew of feed, so moldy feed farmers should not feed them to laying hens, because moldy feed contains some toxins, which can stimulate and destroy the intestinal mucosa of laying hens. , Which in turn leads to increased intestinal mucosal permeability of laying hens, leading to diarrhea in laying hens.

Automatic poultry chicken equipment manufacturers here remind farmers to pay attention to the nutritional balance of the feed to ensure that the chickens receive adequate nutrition and grow healthier.

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!

1. Medium-scale chicken farms will become mainstream

At present, the long-term "small-scale and large-group" breeding in the layer industry has made disease control in areas with dense layer production become the biggest factor affecting the development of the industry. In the next 5-10 years, chicken farms with a stock of 50,000 to 500,000 layers will become the main source of eggs in the future, and chicken farms with a stock of less than 10,000 will gradually withdraw from the layer breeding industry.

2. Intelligent breeding

With the development of the poultry breeding equipment manufacturing industry and the integration of breeding equipment from countries around the world in the past two years, competition in the breeding equipment industry has become increasingly fierce. The relative investment of breeding equipment in the entire breeding process is constantly decreasing, which has made automated chicken coops popular all over the world. Coupled with the continuous increase in labor costs and management costs, farmers are actively developing in the direction of appropriate scale, standardization, automation, and intelligent breeding. "Man manages machines and machines raise chickens" will become more and more common, and intelligence will inevitably become the industry's choice in the future.

3. Industrial integration

With the scale and modern development of the layer industry, the integrated operation model has gradually been accepted by the majority of chicken farmers. The formation of a completed industrial chain will be very benign to the development of the entire industry. There are specializations in the technical industry, and professional people do professional things. The operation model from breeding-breeding chickens-feed-equipment-animal protection services-brand eggs-egg processing-out of the chicken industrial park is a good model for building a complete industrial chain.

Therefore, it can be seen that the use of automated poultry farming equipment to raise chickens is the general trend.
