Basic information

Battery cage systems are a type of housing system used in poultry farming, particularly for layer hens. These systems consist of multiple tiers of cages arranged in rows, with each cage typically housing 3-5 birds. The cages are designed to provide a controlled environment, with automated feeding, watering, and egg collection systems

Battery cages are often used in large scale commercial poultry farms due to their efficiency, cost   effectiveness, and ability to maximize space. Key features of battery cage systems include automated feeding and watering systems, egg collection systems, ventilation and climate control systems, and manure removal systems

These systems are designed to optimize egg production, reduce labor costs, and improve biosecurity. Alternative housing systems, such as aviary and free-range systems, are gaining popularity as consumers increasingly prioritize animal welfare and sustainability. Regulations, such as the eu battery cage ban (2012), have been implemented to improve animal welfare standards in poultry farming
