Basic information

Chickens were literally raised in a free-range before the invention of a battery cage. They were not raised in huge numbers as it is today in large quantities like 3000 birds, 5000 birds and even 10000 birds because birds are now raised for commercial purpose. Families who had birds in olden days of small size sold eggs as their primary income source, and chicken meat was a delicacy being reserved for special occasions and holidays only. The average chicken would lay between 80-150 eggs per year

But ever since cages were invented, there has been a drastic change in the poultry system because the benefits of cage cannot be over looked. Among others, it has increased the level of eggs and meat production because the use of cages helps to curb various challenges facing and deteriorating the well being of birds. It has helped to boost our economic system, it equally helps to meet the

Housing was non specific, either in the barn with the other animals or a separate outbuilding, they certainly didn’t have purpose built coops like we see today, and this led to a high mortality rate of around 40%. Chickens also didn’t do well over the winter months due to a lack of vitamin D which is provided during the summer months through sunlight. Vitamin D was discovered in the early 1920s and led to a small revolution in poultry keeping. Hens could now survive through the winter months with Vitamin D supplements and go on to produce healthier chicks in the spring

Product description

Battery cages come in different sizes, generally they are about the size and shape of a desk drawer, about 67 square inches. Each bird is given so little living space that they cannot stretch their necks upwards or fully open their wings, let alone run, jump, or do anything else a hen might do in more natural settings

A battery cage is used in egg production facilities known as concentrated animal feeding operations and more commonly as factory farms. Layer hens meaning chickens that lay eggs are kept in these cages for the whole duration of their lives, where they lay roughly an egg per day until they are sent to the slaughterhouse

Battery cages are primarily designed to achieve high density, by being stacked on top of one another. A single egg-producing factory farm may confine thousands of hens at a time in these stacked cages. Battery cages are used in intensive agricultural operations that prioritize productivity and profits, which are achieved by expending the fewest resources per unit of production. In egg production, as with factory farming scenarios involving other species, space is at a premium, so providing birds with as little of it as possible saves companies’ money

Purpose of existence

1. The breeding density is large

Saving houses and saving land, in the same ground and buildings, the 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 labour efficiency is high

2. High feed utilization rate

Chickens have a small amount of activity in the 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 cage, it is not easy to cause waste of feed

3. 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 faeces, 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 faeces and changes in feed intake, so that measures can be taken early

4. High egg production rate and clean eggshell

The temperature and humidity in the 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 faeces, and the surface of the eggshell is relatively clean

5. 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

6. High capacity for accommodation

Modern battery cages have high capacity to accommodate a large number of chickens within a limited space, which 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 60 and 128 chickens or more per unit, depending on the size and model you buy, Therefore, it is rewarding to invest in poultry farming using poultry battery cages with high capacity for accommodation
