1. The chicken battery cages are not connected to each other to avoid cross-infection between the chickens and the chickens.

2. The farther away from other chicken-raising units, the better, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission;

3. All the houses must be thoroughly cleaned with high-pressure faucets. All tools in the house, such as electric fans, brooms, etc., must be cleaned;

4. Ensure that chicken farm personnel are not in contact with the outside flocks;

5. All chicken houses must be disinfected with a broad-spectrum cleaning agent that kills important pathogens;

6. Actively take measures to control rats, flies and stray animals. Once a mouse is present, use rodenticide or use a rodent-proof house to clear and control it;

7. When chickens of different ages are raised in the same chicken farm, the care of the chicken must start with the healthiest chicken feathers (usually the smallest chicken). Workers are not allowed to return to the chicken house from the big chicken house until the clothes and boots have been properly cleaned and disinfected;

8. If the dead chicken is found, the chicken house should be taken out immediately and disposed of immediately;

9. Workers must always wear clean clothes and boots when entering the house. Those who have been in contact with the big chicken-type laying hen must take a bath before entering the chicken house to save the person;

10. Non-essential personnel are not allowed to enter the chicken farm. Visitors must abide by the above rules;

11. Vehicles outside are not allowed to enter unless they are cleaned and disinfected.

Because broilers grow fast, metabolism is high, and they are high-density breeding, as the chickens continue to grow, more and more fresh air is needed, and more feces are discharged, and the more harmful gases are produced. The more gases that are most harmful to chickens, the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide for battery cage system in poultry.

Ammonia is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor. It has a small specific gravity and generally rises to the top in a warm house. However, since ammonia is produced on the ground and around the chicken, the content of the ground in the chicken house is also high, especially When the house is wet and poorly ventilated, the concentration of ammonia in the house is higher. Chicken is particularly sensitive to ammonia. Ammonia has a stimulating effect on the mucous membrane of chickens, which can cause mucosal congestion and edema of the conjunctiva and upper respiratory tract. Pathogens fly through the upper respiratory tract and lung infections to the chest and abdominal airbags, causing respiratory disease in chickens, and the feed intake is reduced, which not only affects the growth and development of chickens, but also reduces the resistance of chickens to diseases, chickens and diseases. The incidence of chicken venomosis is increased and the production performance is greatly reduced in battery cage for layers.

The inside and outside of the layer cages should be clean and tidy. Ensure that all sliding surfaces, lead screws, racks, gear boxes, oil holes, etc. are free from oil, oil and air leakage at all parts, and chips, debris, and dirt around the equipment Clean up; tools, accessories, workpieces (products) should be placed neatly, pipes and lines should be organized; good lubrication, add oil or change oil on time, keep oiling, no dry friction, oil pressure is normal, oil mark is bright, oil path is unobstructed, oily The quality meets the requirements, the grease gun, the grease cup, and the linoleum are clean; follow the safe operation regulations, do not overload the equipment, and the equipment safety protection device is complete and reliable, and the unsafe factors are eliminated in time.

The daily maintenance of layer battery cages is the basic work of equipment maintenance and must be institutionalized and standardized. For the regular maintenance of equipment, work quotas and material consumption quotas should be established and assessed according to the quotas. The regular maintenance of equipment should be included in the assessment content of the workshop contract responsibility system. Periodic inspection of equipment is a planned preventive inspection. In addition to human senses, there must be certain inspection tools and instruments, which are carried out according to the periodic inspection card. Regular inspections are also called periodic inspections. The accuracy of the mechanical equipment should also be checked to determine the degree of actual accuracy of the equipment.

The maintenance of the poultry battery hen cages should be carried out in accordance with the maintenance procedures. Equipment maintenance procedures are requirements and regulations for the daily maintenance of equipment. Adhering to the equipment maintenance procedures can extend the service life of the equipment and ensure a safe and comfortable working environment. Its main content should include:

1. The equipment should be neat, clean, firm, lubricated, anti-corrosive, safe, etc. The operation content, operation method, tools and materials used, reached standards and precautions;
2. The parts, methods and standards for daily inspection, maintenance and regular inspection;
3. Check and evaluate the content and methods of the degree of equipment maintenance by the operators.

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.
