The egg laying chicken cage is a relatively popular form of raising chickens, in the past, when chicken stretched its head, it would peck at the dung belt on the top of the head, in the long run, coccidiosis and intestinal disease frequently occur, the design of the new layer cage is fully automated for feeding, water, manure cleaning system, lighting system and temperature control, providing a clean and comfortable environment for chickens, higher land utilization rate, higher productivity and less labor intensity, which greatly reduces labor cost

The advantage of A type automatic chicken battery cage 

1. Proper for a poultry farm with 10,000 to 20,000 birds

2. The initial investment is relatively small, it is a good choice for farms with tight capital, low land capital and relatively cheap labor

3. Easy operate, easy to repair and maintain

4. Compared with H type chicken cage, its stocking density is relatively low, the management cost is increased

5. The ventilation is good, reduce bad smell from chicken dropping

The advantage of H type automatic chicken battery cage 

1. Proper for a poultry farm over 25,000 birds

2. High stocking density, save land, compared with A type cage system, it saves about 70% of the land

3. The initial investment is large than A type automatic cage

4. Centralized management to save energy and resources

5. Adopt advanced ventilation system, lighting system and automatic control system to fully save energy consumption, improve labor productivity and improve material-to-egg ratio

Egg production rates and precautions in different periods

Although there are many benefits of laying hen cage breeding, farmers should also pay attention to some breeding skills in breeding

1. 5-day-old life: at the fifth day of age, the dead chicks are basically set, however, reducing the number of dead chicks requires three elements, high-quality chicks, suitable temperature and humidity, and high-quality medicine

2. 35-day-old life: on the thirty-fifth day age, chickens with poor constitution must be selected to be raised separately and supplemented with good nutrition, at this time, the body weight determined the later egg production rate, egg size, peak time, number of culled chickens

3. 80-day-old life: at the age of 80 days, the ovaries and fallopian tubes of the laying hens begin to develop, at this time, it is easy to be infected with bacteria such as large rods and salmonella, resulting in poor development of the fallopian tubes and ovaries of laying hens, resulting in the late peak period is not high, poor eggshell quality and many other phenomena

4. Attention should be paid to when egg production rate is 5%: at this time, the chickens just started laying, the phenomenon of endocrine disorders and spleen and stomach disorders is most likely to occur, which is manifested as loose stools, slow feeding and low resistance, it is necessary to regulate the spleen, stomach and endocrine as well as supplement nutrition and increase the body’s resistance

5. Attention should be paid to when the egg production rate is 50%: at this time, most of the chickens have already started production, inflammation of the fallopian tubes and pecking of the anus are likely to occur, therefore, the chickens should be anti-inflammatory and supplemented with balanced nutrition

6. Attention should be paid to when the egg production rate is 90%: at this time, the egg production rate officially peaked, but there are still 10% of laying hens that do not lay eggs, in order to achieve greater egg production performance, three points need to be done, use the medicine that promotes the development of fallopian tubes to promote the development of follicles, eliminate tubal inflammation, supplement nutrition to increase the body’s resistance

7. Attention should be paid to when the egg production rate drops to 85%: when the egg production rate drops to 85%, the body’s internal storage begins to be insufficient, and this is also the period when the body’s tissues and organs begin to age and the digestion and absorption function declines, therefore, if you do not pay attention at this time, it is most likely that the egg production rate will drop quite rapidly
