If you are planning to start or upgrade a poultry farm, choosing the right best poultry farming equipment is essential. Whether you’re raising layers, broilers, or pullets, the efficiency of your farm will depend on the quality and automation level of your systems.
Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about chicken cages for poultry farming, automated systems, and full equipment solutions to help you make the best decision for your farm.
1. What is the best cage system for laying hens?
The most commonly used cage systems for layer chickens are the A Type Layer Battery Cage System and the H Type Layer Battery Cage System.
- A Type is best for small to medium-sized farms. It’s cost-effective and easy to install.
- H Type is ideal for large-scale commercial operations. It offers higher stocking density and supports full automation.
Both systems are designed to optimize egg production, bird welfare, and space utilization. The layer battery cage system ensures that eggs are collected cleanly and efficiently with minimal damage.
2. How do automatic feeding and drinking systems work?
An automatic feeding system delivers feed from the silo to each row of cages using motorized feeding machines or chains. The benefits include:
- Reduced feed wastage (up to 20%)
- Uniform feed distribution
- Lower labor requirements
The automatic drinking system uses nipple drinkers and drip cups to provide birds with clean water at all times. This reduces contamination and supports bird health.
3. What kind of manure removal systems are available?
Two main types of manure removal systems are used in modern poultry farms:
- PP Belt Cleaning System: A plastic belt runs beneath the cage to carry manure out of the house automatically.
- Scraper System: Steel scrapers collect and remove manure along fixed channels.
Both systems ensure regular cleaning, lower ammonia levels, and improved flock health. They are especially important in large farms with high bird density.
4. What is involved in chicken house design?
Chicken house design is a crucial first step in building a poultry farm. A good design includes:
- Proper ventilation and temperature control
- Natural or artificial lighting systems
- Strategic layout for feeding, watering, and egg collection lines
- Structural strength to support multi-tier chicken cages
We offer customized chicken house planning based on your location, climate, farm size, and cage system type. This ensures smooth installation and efficient long-term operation.
5. Are these systems suitable for both broilers and pullets?
Yes. In addition to layer cages, we provide:
- H Type Broiler Battery Cage System: Designed for fast-growing meat birds, with strong flooring and waste management systems.
- Pullet Cage Systems: Available in A Type and H Type formats for young birds, helping them grow in a healthy, controlled environment before transfer to layer cages.
Each system supports species-specific requirements, including space, ventilation, and growth rates.
6. What support do you provide after installation?
We offer a full range of after-sales services, including:
- On-site installation guidance and worker training
- Technical support for equipment operation
- Spare parts and maintenance planning
- Remote troubleshooting and video assistance
Our team has worked with farms in more than 30 countries, including large-scale installations across Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
7. What results can I expect after switching to automated poultry farming equipment?
Case studies have shown significant improvements:
- Up to 30% increase in egg production
- Labor savings of 40–50%
- Lower mortality rates due to improved air quality and hygiene
- Feed conversion rates as low as 1.6:1 for broilers in cage systems
One poultry farm in Kenya reported a 26% increase in monthly egg output within just 3 months of adopting an H Type Layer Cage System.
