Basic information
Battery cage system design for layers has a width of 49.2″ and the length is 95″, also another fact is the length of the compartment can be enlarged in stages, so that the flock size can be determined by the customers individually. Both male and female birds can exhibit the natural behaviour because of the reinforced perch in the centre of the cage
A closed partition separates the individual cages and ensures that there is calmness within the birds
This also keeps the males separated in different groups. Zinc aluminium coating is generally used for the cage front and for the bottom wire of the cage. These cages are available with or without air duct. This allows higher housing space, has minimum labour requirements. And also ensures healthy eggs with perfect hatching
This caging system has by default a good feeding system in it. The feed chain carries the food to the birds evenly and without separating it. Low maintenance required for feeding. Feed losses are avoided by the deep trough. The flat-surfaced foot rail, made of stainless steel, slide the eggs to the trough area. This means short roll-off distances and which increases egg quality. The foot rail also prevents possibility of falling into the cage below and the birds cannot peck any eggs

Product description

Battery cages come in different sizes. Generally they are about the size and shape of a desk drawer, about 67 square inches. Each bird is given so little living space that they cannot stretch their necks upwards or fully open their wings, let alone run, jump, or do anything else a hen might do in more natural settings
A battery cage is used in egg production facilities known as concentrated animal feeding operations and more commonly as factory farms. Layer hens meaning chickens that lay eggs are kept in these cages for the whole duration of their lives, where they lay roughly an egg per day until they are sent to the slaughterhouse
Battery cages are primarily designed to achieve high density, by being stacked on top of one another. A single egg-producing factory farm may confine thousands of hens at a time in these stacked cages. Battery cages are used in intensive agricultural operations that prioritize productivity and profits, which are achieved by expending the fewest resources per unit of production. In egg production, as with factory farming scenarios involving other species, space is at a premium, so providing birds with as little of it as possible saves companies’ money

Features

1. There is an egg saver, which ensures the safe rolling off of eggs to the longitudinal belt. An additional advantage is for the newly laid eggs is, they dry while sliding to the egg saver, for which feather or dust cannot stick to the eggs
2. The manure collected by the manure belt beneath the bottom wires. This can remain up to 6 days
3. The air duct gives a direct air flow just upon the manure belt which helps to reduce the extraction of ammonia as well as dries the manure
4. Watering system in chicken layer cages is highly effective, water nipple are located outside each cages. These are made of stainless steel. The splash water is collected by drip cup, which keeps the cage safe from corrosion & keep the manure dry

Why battery cage is good for layers

1. The breeding density is large
Saving houses and saving land, in the same ground and buildings, the cages can raise three to five times more laying hens than the flat ones, and the laying hens can be mechanized and automated, and the labour efficiency is high
2. High feed utilization rate
Chickens have a small amount of activity in the cage, consume less energy, have less feed intake, and have higher feed returns than flat feed. At the same time, because the trough is placed outside the cage, it is not easy to cause waste of feed
3. Facilitate the prevention and control of the spread of disease
The laying hens are caged, the dust in the house is less, and the chicken body is not in contact with the faeces, which reduces the chance of disease transmission. Moreover, due to the relatively fixed position of the chickens, the affected chickens are easily detected through the faeces and changes in feed intake, so that measures can be taken early
4. High egg production rate and clean eggshell
The temperature and humidity in the cage house are easy to control and provide a high yield and stable living condition for the chickens. After the eggs are produced, they are not easily contaminated by faeces, and the surface of the eggshell is relatively clean
5. Qualitative feeding for the chickens
The battery cage system makes feeding for chickens a habitual process which connotes more care for the chickens. This is because the chickens are fed through a long bisected metal or plastic pipe and water is served to them with overhead nipple systems which are set before the chickens. This makes it easy for the poultry farmer to care for the chickens with frequent and adequate food and water
6. High capacity for accommodation
Modern battery cages have high capacity to accommodate a large number of chickens within a limited space, which means battery cages will save you cost in construction and help you maximize the use of whatever space you have available. Many A type poultry battery cages can accommodate between 60 and 128 chickens or more per unit, depending on the size and model you buy, Therefore, it is rewarding to invest in poultry farming using poultry battery cages with high capacity for accommodation

Benefit of a battery cage

1. It is easier to care for the chicks and hens
2. Floor eggs are eliminated means eggs are cleaner
3. Collections of eggs are lot easier
4. Need less feeding to produce a dozen eggs
5. More chicks or hens can be housed in a given house floor space
6. Internal parasites are eliminated
7. Labour requirements are much reduced
8. Broodiness is eliminated
9. Hens and chicks stay clean
