Nowadays, more and more farms are choosing to buy battery cages to raise chickens. According to incomplete statistics of customer data, from 2018 to 2019 alone, 4,379 foreign buyers imported chicken cages and other related products from China. It also shows that the farmer’s demand for cage farming is gradually increasing, and cage farming has become a major trend in poultry breeding.
When chicks grow up, you may need to transfer them to a cage. Cage raising is better for a commercial farm because it saves space and feed. Moreover, the chickens are separated from the manure, so cage raising reduces the spread of disease and the risk of infection.

The benefits of cage keeping are roughly divided into the following points:
1. High feeding density
Make full use of the chicken coop and various technical equipment to increase the feeding density of the flock. Generally, only 5-6 chickens per square meter can be raised on the ground, and up to 20 chickens can be raised by vertically overlapping three layers of cages. This greatly saves the ground and costs that are required to build chicken coops.
The laying hen cage breeding system is mainly composed of cage, feeding, drinking water, lighting, waste treatment, automatic egg collection, and environmental control systems, etc. The use of mechanized cage laying equipment can enable the production of commercial chickens or commercial eggs from hatching and brooding to the final cycle in a rhythmic manner.
Only 4.3 broiler breeders can be raised per square meter. The three-dimensional cage density is more than 3 times higher than the normal density, and the layer can raise more than 17 per square meter.
2. Save labor
The chickens are kept in cages without movement, water, feed troughs, or spawning boxes. Eggs can automatically roll out of the cage, making it easy to pick eggs. Therefore, it saves time for manure removal and other management. Generally, the elderly and women can raise them easily, and the labor efficiency is high.
Everything is already organized.
The poultry farmer will simply do the job of pouring food and water in the designated areas, cleaning the feces that drop, and packing the eggs. This reduces stress for the farmer and the need to employ many workers for poultry farms will be minimized. In the long run, poultry farming will be more rewarding for the poultry workers.
3. Reduce feed waste
Less waste of feed and low consumption. Typically, the feeding is flat, and the feed trough is placed on the ground in the house. The feed is also easy to throw away as waste. The chickens in cages are fed outside, and the chickens extend their heads to eat outside the grids, which eliminates the waste of feed. At the same time, keeping chickens in cages restricts the activities of the chickens, so the heat energy consumption is minimal, and the quietness of the chickens is ensured.
In free-range feeding, the feed is sprinkled directly on the ground, which is unhygienic. Also, a lot of the feed is not eaten, which results in a lot of waste. The cages use the trough to hold the feed, which can reasonably be used to both feed and reduce waste. In addition, the chicken cage uses a deep food trough, which can prevent the chickens from spraying feed in the pecking room. This improves the feed utilization rate and saves money for the farmers.
4. Low incidence of disease
Facilitate epidemic prevention and reduce disease. Keeping chickens in cages without contact between humans and chickens and chickens with manure can prevent or reduce the chance of disease infection, control the occurrence and prevalence of parasitic diseases and infectious diseases, improve the survival rate of chickens, and greatly reduce the expense of medicine.
Currently, the most commonly used laying hen cages are all-step cages, and the upper and lower cages do not overlap vertically so that the feces of each layer easily fall into the lowest dung ditch. The ground installed in the dung ditch uses a Scraper manure cleaner that will clean out the feces.
Wet chicken manure leads to a high concentration of ammonia, which damages your hens’ respiratory system and eyes. Cleaning chicken manure regularly is good for your chicken’s growth and laying eggs.
There are two ways to clean chicken manure: using a manure scraper machine (easy to install and cost-effective) or a manure convey belt machine (more effective, durable, and expensive).
