Broiler battery cage systems overview

1. H-type broiler battery cages – high-density, stacked vertical design for maximum space efficiency.

2. A-type cages – multi-tier modular cages with integrated feeding, watering, and manure management.

3. Traditional floor or free-range systems – less intensive, mainly for specialty or organic markets.


H-type broiler battery cages – from chicks to market

1. Key features

(1) Stacked vertical structure: 3–4 tiers for efficient space utilization.

(2) Bottom mesh: Firm, elastic, and hygienic; equipped with plastic flat mesh for chicks, removed around 6 weeks.

(3) Drinking system: Hanging cups for early-stage chicks, adjustable water pipes for older birds.

(4) Manure management: Plastic waste plates under each tier; manual or semi-automatic collection.

(5) Durable materials: Hot-dip galvanized Q235 steel ensures longevity over 25 years.

(6) Improved growth results: Reduced disease incidence, uniform weight gain, high survival rate (~99.8%).

2. Fully automatic H-type broiler battery cages

(1) Automation features

  • Feeding: Motor-driven feed lines deliver precise rations to each tier.

  • Drinking: Adjustable hanging cup system with pressure-regulated water supply.

  • Manure removal: Electric scraper belts transport droppings to collection pits.

  • Temperature control: Compatible with brooder lamps and house ventilation.

(2) Performance benefits

  • Uniform growth for all birds

  • Reduced labor by 60–70% compared to manual management

  • Lower ammonia and hydrogen sulfide concentration in poultry houses

  • Improved feed-to-meat conversion ratio (~1.4:1)

2. Environmental management

(1) Temperature: Maintain 32–35°C for chicks, gradually reduce to 20–22°C for market age.

(2) Humidity: 50–70% relative humidity, avoid excessive moisture to reduce disease.

(3) Ventilation: Forced-air fans with curtain control for uniform airflow.

(4) Lighting: 18–23 hours/day initially, then reduce gradually to encourage feed intake.

3. Cleaning and disinfection

(1) Between batches: Remove all feeders, drinkers, and manure plates.

(2) Disinfection: Spraying with approved disinfectants for at least 10 hours before introducing new chicks.

(3) Floor and wall cleaning: Remove debris, sanitize surfaces, repair any broken parts.

(4) External environment: Ensure drainage channels are clear, remove feathers and litter.
