Basic information

Presumably, the trouble of every poultry farmer is how to prevent their battery cage from rusting, so get rid of this fear, the one thing to pay attention to is the environmental problems which may directly affect the battery cage if not carefully maintained., other things that environmental problems can cause in chicken battery cages is that it will affect the growth status and production efficiency of chickens. Therefore, the chicken battery cage factory recommends cleaning and disinfecting the chicken cage

Most of this battery cages are made of metal, so because it is metal it will inevitably rust and It will be more corrosive but this things can be averted when properly cleaned and disinfected. The chickens are raised indoors. So the chicken can contact the battery cage at any time. If the chicken skin touches the rusty part, this is not necessarily a good thing. Therefore, our company recommends cleaning and disinfecting of the chicken cage

In general, for cost minimization high rise housing should be as long as possible so that the feeders, waterers, bins fill systems, and central egg collection equipment are spread out over as many hens as possible. Long houses optimize equipment to bird ratios, where shorter houses tend to be economical. size, fewer birds can be accommodated in a high rise house

Product description

Battery cages are a housing system used for various animal production methods, but primarily for egg laying hens. The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected together, in a unit, as in an artillery battery. Although the term is usually applied to poultry farming, similar cage systems are used for other animals. Battery cages have generated controversy between advocates for poultry chicken welfare and industrial poultry producers

Original battery cages extended the technology used in battery brooders, which were cages with a wire mesh floor and integral heating elements for brooding chicks. The wire floor allowed the manure to pass through, removing it from the chicks'environment and reducing the risk of manure borne diseases

Earlier in poultry farming battery cages were often used for selecting hens based on performance, since it is easy to track how many eggs each hen is laying if only one hen is placed in a cage. Later, this was combined with artificial insemination, giving a technique where each egg's parentage is known

Features

1. The battery cage involves rearing of poultry on raised wire netting floor in smaller compartments, called battery cages, either fitted with stands on floor of house or hanged from the roof

2. It has been proved very efficient for laying operations, right from day old to till disposal

4. Feeders and water troughs are attached to cages from outside except nipple drinker, for which pipeline is installed through or above cages

5. Auto operated feeding trolleys and egg collection belts can also be used in this rearing system

How to prevent battery cage from rusting

1. Cleaning 

Because it is 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 

Because the chickens are kept in battery cages at a high density, spray disinfection is used. If the disinfection is not done on time 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 

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 

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
