The term "Laying Cage" almost certainly refers to cages specifically designed for housing egg-laying hens (layers) within poultry farming operations.
Here's a breakdown of what this means:
1. Purpose: To efficiently house laying hens for commercial egg production.
2. Features:
Wire Mesh Construction: Typically made of galvanized steel wire mesh for durability, hygiene (manure falls through), ventilation, and ease of cleaning.
Sloped Floor: The floor slopes gently towards the front of the cage.
Roll-away Nest Design: Eggs laid by the hens roll out of the cage onto a collection conveyor belt or trough immediately after being laid (preventing breakage and keeping eggs clean).
Feed Trough: Runs along the front of the cage(s), accessible by all hens inside.
Watering System: Nipple drinkers are commonly installed inside or at the front of each cage section.
Manure Collection: Manure drops through the wire floor onto belts or into pits below for removal.
Group Housing: Cages hold multiple birds (though modern welfare concerns often push towards fewer birds per cage or alternative systems). Traditional battery cages held 5-10 birds; enriched colony cages hold larger groups but provide more space and amenities.
Tiered Systems: Often stacked vertically (2-8 tiers high) within large sheds to maximize space efficiency ("battery cages").
3. Types (Evolving due to Welfare Concerns):
Conventional Battery Cages: The traditional system involving small wire cages stacked in tiers (now banned or being phased out in many regions like the EU and parts of North America due to severe space restrictions).
Enriched Colony Cages / Furnished Cages: Larger than battery cages, providing slightly more space per hen and legally mandated enrichments:
Perches
A scratch area/litter substrate
Nest boxes (private area for laying)
Claw-shortening devices
(These are currently legal alternatives in some regions where battery cages are banned).
Aviaries / Barn Systems / Free-Range: While not strictly "cages," these are alternative housing systems gaining popularity due to higher welfare standards (allowing birds freedom of movement). The term "laying cage" doesn't apply here.
4.
1. Drinking system include the water pipes, water pressure adjuster, drinking nipples, Waterline front-end device, dosing system etc, choose them according to customer's needs.
2. High-quality water drinking pipes, pressure regulating valves and water drinking nipples can effectively prevent the water leakage. Drinking system adopt the closed piping system, which can minimize the water pollution.
3. 360-degree drinking nipples provide adequate drinking water for poultry at all stages.
4. The automatic drinking water system mainly adopts the steel ball drinking nipple. lt uses imported high-grad stainless steel, POM resin, and APS engineering material, which is wearing resistant, and the durability can be used for long time.
1. Automatic feeding machine can be chosen between gantry and ladder feeding machine. Gantry type feeding machine is a relatively economical and practical machine with simple operation, remote control walking character, easy to manage.
2. Mechanical transmission device running smoothly, low noise, long service life.
3. With the use of automatic control, the feeding system can adjust the amount of material.
4. Feeding with arched structure, high carrying capacity, not easily deformed.
5. Saving man power, saving feed, greatly improving the efficiency of Large-scale farming.
6. The walking speed of gantry feeding machine is 9--12 m/min.
1. Manure removing system included scraper type and conveyor belt type, Which can reduce the labor intensity and labor cost, keep the chicken shed dry and clean.
2. A type chicken cage can use scraper type or conveyor belt type.
3. The scraper type is suitable for A type cages, which can clean two or three rows. For the starters, this type is a good choice. lt can not only save some labor cost, but also save some investment in the whole project. The cleaning speed is 6-10 meters per minute.
4. Conveyor belt type is more suitable for large scale farming. The manure removing belt we use is high quality PP material (polypropylene). The walking speed is 2-4 meters per minute.
High Quality Pellets Made by Mobile Pellet Machine
1. It has professional designed angle of the blade. After the dynamic balance test one by one, the blade can operate smoothly.
2. The air volume is consistent in the whole life of the fan. Bearings has advantage of high strength, low noise, durable and so on.
1. The cooling pads uses high-quality wet curtain paper and adopts space cross-linking technology, which has the advantages of high water absorption, high water resistance, anti-toxicity and long service life.
2. The cooling efficiency is over 80%, without surfactant, natural water absorption, fast diffusion speed and long-lasting effect.
3. The product does not contain phenol and other chemical substances that are easy to cause skin allergies. It is non-toxic and harmless to the human body and chicken when installed and used. It is green, safe, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, economical, and easy to install.
4. The frame aluminum alloy has high strength, good corrosion resistance, durability and beautiful appearance.
5. Use a special filter for the cooling pad at the upper water to ensure clean water quality and support efficient water circulation components.
6. Combined with a negative pressure fan, it can effectively lower the indoor temperature.
The window is made of special selected high-quality engineering plastic, with high strength and long service life, together with superior anti-aging and anti-UV performance.
Function: Ventilation of the chicken house, usually used in the winter.
This system can adjust the wind speed and direction, thus the cold air will not reach chicken directly , which can effectively prevent the phenomenon of cold stress in chicken.
Environmental control system equipment is suitable for large-scale and intensive farming. According to customer requirements, we can provide various types of smart poultry equipment.
1. Our poultry management system is a modular system that manages all aspects of the chicken house, such as climate, temperature, humidity, ammonia, feeding, feed weighing, lighting and ventilation systems, and can monitor the situation of the chicken house in real time through a computer and mobile phone.
2. The management computer is the heart of the poultry farm, allowing you to easily monitor the entire poultry farm.
