Product description
The battery cage system is a type of housing used in industrial egg production where multiple tiers of cages are stacked together to house large numbers of hens. Each cage is typically around 67-76 square inches in size and holds 3-10 hens, depending on the country's regulations. The cages are designed to be efficient and maximize space, with automated feeding, watering, and egg collection systems
Advantages of battery cage system
1. Increased egg production: Battery cages can increase egg production by up to 20% due to controlled feeding and lighting
2. Improved feed efficiency: Cages allow for precise feeding and reduce waste
3. Reduced labor costs: Automated feeding and watering systems minimize labor needs
4. Better disease control: Cages can help prevent disease spread by separating birds
5. Easier manure removal: Cages allow for automated manure removal, reducing labor and odor
6. Increased bird density: Cages enable more birds to be housed in a smaller area
7. Reduced predation: Cages protect birds from predators
8. Improved egg quality: Cages reduce egg breakage and improve cleanliness
9. Enhanced biosecurity: Cages can help prevent external disease introduction
10. Lower capital costs: Initial investment in cage systems can be lower than alternative housing
