Basic information

Chicken layer cages have a width of 49.2″ and the length is 95″. Also, another fact is the length of the compartment can be enlarged in stages. So that the flock size can be determined by the customers individually. Both male and female birds can exhibit the natural behaviour because of the reinforced perch in the centre of the cage. A closed partition separates the individual cages & ensure calmness within the birds. Which also keeps the males separated in different groups. Zinc-aluminium coating is generally used for the cage front and for the bottom wire of the cage. These cages are available with or without air duct. This allows higher housing space, has minimum labour requirements. And also ensures healthy eggs with perfect hatching

This caging system has by default a good feeding system in it. The feed chain carries the food to the birds evenly and without separating it. Low maintenance required for feeding. Feed losses are avoided by the deep trough

The flat-surfaced foot rail, made of stainless steel, slide the eggs to the trough area. This means short roll-off distances and which increases egg quality. The foot rail also prevents possibility of falling into the cage below and the birds cannot peck any eggs

There is an egg saver, which ensures the safe rolling-off of eggs to the longitudinal belt. An additional advantage is for the newly laid eggs is, they dry while sliding to the egg saver, for which feather or dust cannot stick to the eggs

the manure collected by the manure belt beneath the bottom wires. Which can remain up to 6 days. The air duct gives a direct air flow just upon the manure belt which helps to reduce the extraction of ammonia as well as dries the manure

Watering system in chicken layer cages is highly effective, water nipple are located outside each cages. These are made of stainless steel. The splash water is collected by drip cup, which keeps the cage safe from corrosion & keep the manure dry
