As the breeding industry using layer chicken cages in Ghana continues to expand, the scientific nature of breeding technology is becoming more and more important. The selection of chicken coop equipment, reasonable design of chicken coops, the control of chemical dosage, air circulation, and disease prevention are becoming more and more professional and scientific, which requires a group of high-tech breeders. So what aspects should be paid attention to in laying hen breeding?

1. suitable environment
Proper temperature, proper humidity, proper ventilation, proper stocking density, proper light

2. Sufficient drinking water
Ensure that the laying hens have proper drinking water, effectively ensuring the healthy growth of the laying hens.

3. Standard weight
Overweight or underweight will affect the laying rate of laying hens.

4. Reduce all kinds of stress
Suitable environmental factors are one of the key factors affecting the growth of laying hens.

5. Strengthen disinfection
Strengthen disinfection in the house and cleaning outside the house to ensure the cleanliness of the breeding environment and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

6. Immunization vaccine
Use vaccines correctly and reasonably to effectively control and reduce the derivation of poultry diseases.

With the development of the breeding industry, automatic layer chicken cages are now essential chicken breeding equipment for farmers. What are the benefits of using chicken cages to raise chickens? Let's discuss it today.

        1.High degree of automation. Active feeding, drinking water, cleaning manure, wet curtain device. The use of this type of equipment to centrally manage the chicken coop can greatly improve the efficiency of breeding.

2.Conducive to the epidemic prevention work. Because the automatic manure removal systemmakes the chickens inaccessible to manure. This will make the chicken grow stronger. It also provides a clean and warm development space for chickens.

3.Save breeding feed. The use of stacked layer cages can greatly reduce the breeding feed. Because chickens grow in cages, their activity is reduced. The chicken's body consumes less energy, which leads to less feed waste.

4.The chicken coop is stable and durable. Hot-dip galvanizing technology is now used in automated breeding equipment. Make the equipment use longer, and it is also resistant to corrosion and oxidation. The service life can reach 15-20 years.

5.Save time. Because of the high degree of automation of modern chicken farming equipment, it is more conducive for farmers to manage the chicken coop and save time for other tasks.

Poultry farming has become a popular poultry farming project in recent years. Developing poultry farming requires steps such as building a chicken house, buy battery cage system, and purchasing chickens. Money is needed everywhere, so today we will talk about how to save money.

1. Feeding should be appropriate. According to statistics, when feed is added to 1/3 of the trough, the waste rate is at least 2%. Many poultry farmers want to let their chickens eat more feed, so they put the feed in 2/3 of the trough. The waste rate of this feed is as high as 12%.
2. Prompt beak trimming. The chicks are beaked at 6-9 days of age to prevent picky eating and hooking and throwing of feed when feeding, so as to reduce feed waste. Improve brooding rate, good group life, easy to manage.
3. Buy battery cage for poultry. Now poultry cages are used in various countries. It can improve the efficiency of poultry breeding and save space. And the purchase of high-quality poultry farming equipment can be used for 20 years. Friends who want to use a battery cage can choose an experienced chicken cage manufacturers to buy it.
4. The feed ratio is reasonable and the nutrients are balanced. Chickens cannot absorb nutrients from the feed indefinitely. If the feed mix is unreasonable, too much nutrition can only be wasted; if the feed is too coarse, the feed of different particle sizes will be quickly excreted after being eaten by the chickens. cause waste. Therefore, the full-stage feed should be used reasonably, such as self-compounding, which should be formulated in strict accordance with the standard.
5. The temperature of the chicken house should be suitable. When the temperature is too low in winter, chickens need to increase the heat by increasing the feed intake, and the feed loss is about 10%, which will cause waste. Therefore, it is also very important to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
6. Scientifically store feed. Especially in summer and autumn, the feed is susceptible to moisture and mold or deterioration due to increased fat oxidation, reducing the value of the feed and causing waste. Therefore, the storage of feed should be protected from light, ventilation, moisture, and insects, and feed as little as possible in the rainy season.

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.
