"The Advantages Of Our Fully Automatic A-Type Day Old Chicken Cage Design"

2. Intelligent Automation, Modular Efficiency: What Powers The A-Type Day Old Chicken Cage Design

In the A-type day old chicken cage design, automation is not about isolated functions-it's about coordinated precision. Each device plays its part in a responsive, modular ecosystem that drives the entire farm forward with minimal human input.

Type 3 Chain Feeding System



  • A galvanized 3-8 ton feed silo equipped with a level sensor connects directly to the feed conveyor. 

  • Once feed troughs fall below preset levels, the system automatically initiates feeding at a speed of 18 m/min-completing a full-house feed cycle within 7 minutes. 

  • Less than one or two weeks old chicks use small feeder to eat, workers move feeders out after chicks older

(2) Automatic Watering: Pressure-Stabilized, Flow-Controlled

  • Less than one or two weeks old chicks use small drinker to drinking, workers move drinkers out after chicks older.

  • Built-in flush valves allow automatic line cleaning between batches.

(3) Automatic Manure Removal: Quiet, Scheduled, No Dust

Fresh Air System


  • A high-efficiency ventilation system featuring 36″ axial fans (36,000 m³/h at 0.75 kW) is working in tandem with cooling pads to regulate temperature. 

  • When outside temperatures exceed 40 °C, the system maintains an internal environment around 28.7 °C. Sensors feed live data into the controller, day old chicken cage design adjusts fan sequencing and pad performance accordingly-no need for manual tweaking.

(5) Automatic Lighting System: Circadian Rhythm By Design

Ending Cage Frame And Lighting


  • Programmable zones simulate natural light transitions, promoting healthy feeding and rest cycles. 

  • Four modes-dawn/dusk, full light, blue night light, and blackout-are timed to reduce stress and improve uniformity. 

  • At night, soft 2–5 lux lighting prevents panic reactions while ensuring safety.

(5) Warm And Cooling System: Selective Assembly
