Basic information
There are two basic points that cannot be neglected while considering the use of battery cage in poultry sector. These two things are benefits of battery cage and maintenance of battery cage. Benefits of battery cage give it upper edge over other method of keeping birds while its maintenance tells how much poultry farmers can use it and as well enjoy it
Poultry battery cages are housing systems which are mostly used for chicken rearing and suitable for keeping diverse species. In the modern day chicken rearing, battery systems have certain beneficial impact on poultry farming in several ways which are listed below
Benefits of battery cage
1. Battery cages boosts the health of the chickens
Many poultry farmers do not get healthy results from their chicken rearing because they have ignored the use of battery cages. Battery cages are very good means of accommodating your chickens in healthy conditions that will boost their reproduction
Original battery cages are not mere cages with wire mesh floor and essential heating elements for brooding chickens. Quality and superior battery cages are designed to outweigh an ordinary wire mesh cage. The wire floor is designed to allow manure go through it, taking it away from the chickens surroundings and eventually minimizing the risks of manure-borne diseases. This will keep the chickens health and make chicken rearing a task worthwhile for the poultry farmer
2. Increases egg production
A chicken that is healthy will significantly become more productive than chickens reared in environments that do not boost their health. Enriched battery cages increase the potential of egg production in chickens
In fact, recent estimations reveal that sixty percent of eggs used in products such as mayonnaise, sandwiches and cakes are from chickens reared in battery cages. This reveals that chickens have more tendencies to produce eggs in battery cages compared to other rearing systems. It is more advisable to use battery cages to aid egg production
3. 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. Chicken are well-catered for in battery cages and this makes them healthier and more productive
4. Low cost of labour
Battery cage reduces labour by the poultry farmer. This is because the chickens are well-organized and conducted to be in rows with several facilities for their feeding, carriers of their faeces droppings adequately positioned and the eggs rolling to the appropriate places in designed the battery cages. Everything is well organized. The poultry farmer will simply do the job of pouring food and water in the designated areas, cleaning the faeces 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
5. Poultry battery cages have feeders that minimize feed spillage
Battery cages make it easy for poultry farmers to care adequately for their chickens. Despite this dire need to take care of the chickens, battery cages help the poultry farmer to minimize feed spillage when feeding chickens. It is easy to minimize feed spillage with battery cages because they are designed with standard accessories for holding food and water, especially the amount required for feeding the chickens daily. This disallows any form of feed spillage and wastage. Instead of feed spillage, the chickens keep feeding on the required amount of food specifically provided in front of them
6. High capacity for accommodation
Modern battery cages have high capacity to accommodate a larger number of chickens within a limited space. That 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 96 and 160 chickens or more per unit, depending on the size (tier) and model you buy. Therefore, it is rewarding to invest in poultry farming using poultry battery cages with high capacity for accommodation
7. Affordable, durable and suitable for all egg-laying chicken types
Poultry battery cages are quite affordable for beginners and experienced poultry farmers who need to give this method of rearing chickens a trial. It costs less and is more effective and efficient. Besides being affordable, poultry battery cages are durable because they have wire mesh made of galvanized iron which keeps them from rusting and makes them last for a lengthy period of time. It is not just durable but suitable for all egg laying chicken. It is therefore advisable for poultry farmers to consider using the modern poultry battery cages lively livestock keeping

Maintenance processes
1. Cleaning of chicken cage equipment and cages
Mainly designed with galvanized mesh. It is not easy to scratch under normal conditions. However, some impurities will adhere during use. Such as chicken feathers, feed and chicken manure. It took a long time. It may scab and harden. So we need to take it out for cleaning. Do not rub with a stiff brush. Soak after washing. Soak the dirt until soft. Then rinse with clean water
2. Sterilization of chicken cages
Keep broilers in chicken cages at a high density. Therefore, spray disinfection is used. If the disinfection is not clean. Bacteria and viruses will easily remain. This is not conducive to future feeding and disease prevention. Pay attention to the rotation and dosage of disinfectants during disinfection
3. Overhaul work
After the above work is completed, the farmer will start to overhaul the chicken cage, check the chicken cage for damage, and repair the net bed, repair circuit and heating tools. The tool can at least guarantee to raise a batch of chickens, otherwise it should be replaced, and the damaged bulbs should be completely replaced. It is best to use energy saving bulbs
4. Disinfection of the cage
Move the tools and utensils into the cage, close the doors and windows and the ventilation holes. It is required to be closed and tight without leakage, spray disinfection, ventilation after 10 hours of disinfection, and after 3-4 hours of ventilation, close the doors and windows. All the ceiling walls and net beds of chicken cages should be disinfected with high efficiency and non-corrosive disinfectant, and prepared according to the proportion of the instructions. Ground disinfection should be sprayed with 3% hot alkali water or lime
5. Fumigation and disinfection
Fumigation and disinfection is a relatively thorough method of disinfection. Farmers should pay attention to closing doors and windows and vents when fumigation, check whether the temperature and humidity meet the requirements, and seal the door immediately after completion. During the empty house disinfection, no one or animal enters the chicken cage. After fumigation, the doors, windows and vents are opened 24-36 hours, and the air is fully ventilated
The above is a relatively simple cleaning method. In fact, in order to keep the chicken coop equipment tidy. The meticulous maintenance of the equipment is essential. In normal use. We try not to pull, pull and close the door too hard. To reduce the collision of materials. Usually when raising chickens. Do not spread the feed around the chicken coop. Do not soak in liquid
Usually the correct installation method is to use it, which is an effective way to extend the service life of chicken cage equipment. The maintenance of the broiler battery cage system of poultry determines how long it can be used. Only maintain the equipment. This can be beneficial to the economic benefits of farmers
