Basic informationBefore starting a poultry farm it is important to have a list of poultry farm equipment. A standard poultry farm uses many tools and equipment. They are meant for housing the birds, care or butchering, it is essential for all poultry farmers to use the right equipment for a successful farming. Equipment such as battery cage, drinkers and feeders

Battery cages
An early reference to battery cages appears in Milton Arndt's 1931 book, Battery brooding, where he reports that his battery cage flock was healthier and had higher egg production than his conventional flock. At this early date, battery cages already had the sloped floor that allowed eggs to roll to the front of the cage, where they were easily collected by the farmer and out of the hens' reach. Arndt also mentions the use of conveyor belts under the cages to remove manure, which provides better air control quality and reduces fly breeding
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. This form of battery cage is coming into widespread use throughout the country and apparently is solving a number of the troubles encountered with laying hens in the regular laying house on the floor
Food and housing are two main factor of successful poultry farming business, Housing is also very important for raising layer poultry commercially and in small scale. A good poultry house protects the poultry birds from adverse weather condition, injury and predators. Poultry birds require a draft free and dry house. Proper ventilation system and temperature management is needed. And for proper ventilation, you can keep big sized windows or doors, which can be opened when necessary

Necessary things to put in place in poultry house
1. If you want to raise your birds in battery cage system, then build a large house compared to the length, wide and height of broiler house
2. Use dropped ceiling system. This will improve ventilation and reduce heating costs. Layer house needs to be slightly higher than the broiler house
3. Dropped ceilings also allow the installation of ceiling insulation to reduce heat gain during hot weather/seasons and heat loss during cold climates/weather
4. Adequate temperature management system is also a very important factor for layer poultry housing. Poultry birds are very sensitive to temperature
5. Use proper cooling and heating system inside the house. Be very careful about temperature management while raising layer chicks. Because your chicks may die due to sudden temperature change. Good ventilation system delivers fresh air inside the house, and removes excess heat, moisture and undesirable gases from the house
Incubation EquipmentThe number of equipment and tools used in poultry farming is huge. Let us start from the hatching of the eggs into small adorable chicks. The equipment list to run a successful hatchery is setter machine to test humidity and temperature and we have different types
Poultry hHatchery equipment1. Setter machine
2. Tunnel, walk in vertical fan incubators
3. Compressed air system
4. Rack washers
5. High pressure pumps
6. Egg transfer machines
Egg handling equipmentEggs are delicate and crack easily if handled wrong. Equipment to handle eggs are hatching egg transfer machines like vacuum egg lifts. The person needs to stock hundreds of egg trays. A light device to check the internal structure of an egg in a hatchery program is the Candler
Brooder EquipmentThe small day old chicks that hatch are brooders. They require lots of warmth, light and space. Common tools are reflectors, stoves, gas brooder or electric brooder. More include infra -red bulbs, hovers and chick guard. The chick guard is to restrict the movement of the chicks. The farmer could also introduce electric heater with temperature adjustment
Feeding Equipment The feeding equipment is either manual or automatic. The list includes automatic or semi automatic feeder. You have the adjustable linear feeder, shell grit box, semi automatic circular feeder
Water equipment Water equipment is filers, water softeners, water heaters. Pan/jar, plastic basin, automatic water device. Others are manual drinker, nipple drinker. The advantage of manual drinkers is easy establishment of vaccines and nutrients in the water. Vaccination is delivered through a syringe or automatic vase
ToolsBasic tools are used for cleaning purposes while special ones are made for certain activities. A specialized tool is the beak trimmer, nest box and weighing scale. Cleaning tools are rakes, sprinklers, spray, more so, we have a modern machine for manure removal called manure cleaning machine. To slaughter the mature birds some farms have automatic conveyor belt system. They need guillotine, knives and slaughter slab. More are disposable sleeves, hair caps, overalls, likewise we have a complete processing line for broilers that can get all these works done with little or no effort
HousingThe housing depends on the type of poultry farming. Layers are kept in battery cages while broilers also have cages now designed for their comfortable living and healthiness. Same as pullet cages
Marketing and transportation
The transport van should have temperature control gauge. This is because chickens are easily stressed and will die. The farmer needs transport boxes to carry the birds
1. Water trough
2. Secure fencing
3. Flooring
Poultry egg production farm
Poultry egg production farm use specialized equipment. The equipment depends on the size of the farm, manual or automated. Specialized hens used for egg production are layers. An average layer lays an egg a day depending in its proficiency, availability of layers feed a water
They require good ventilation, occasional medication, proper housing. To produce eggs house the hens in a layer cage system. Add an egg collection system, feeding and drinking system
