what is an H type of layers chicken cage system?
The H-type layer farming equipment is equipped with automatic feeding, drinking, egg collecting, and manure removing systems. Now it is the most popular automatic layer equipment with the highest-level scientific technology and it represents the development orientation of large-scale and intensity for poultry farming.
Advantages of an H type layers chicken cage system
- The breeding density is large, saving houses and saving land. In the same ground and buildings, the chicken layer 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 labor efficiency is high.
- 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 feces, 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 feces and changes in feed intake, so measures can be taken early.
- High egg production rate and clean eggshell. The temperature and humidity in the chicken layer 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 feces, and the surface of the eggshell is relatively clean.
- High feed utilization rate. Chickens have a small amount of activity in the chicken layer 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 chicken layer cage, it is not easy to cause waste of feed.
- Laying hens are easy to adopt word management measures, such as restricted feeding, flock observation, production records, and chicken catching.
Disadvantages of an H type layers chicken cage system
- Lack of physical and psychological space for the birds.
- Restriction of bird’s behavior.
- Lack of exercise results in a higher incidence of metabolic disorders.
- Birds are denied nesting opportunities resulting in severe frustration for birds each time an egg is laid.
- No room for dust bathing.
- High tendencies of incidence of foot lesions.
