Cost-Effective Poultry Farming Equipment for Egg Production
This layer battery cage system is designed to house 120 or 160 laying hens in a compact, durable, and highly efficient structure. Built from hot-dip galvanized steel, the cages are engineered to increase egg production, reduce labor costs, and improve sanitary conditions on modern poultry farms. This solution is ideal for both medium and large-scale egg producers seeking to optimize their operations.

Layer Cage System Configurations
The cages are available in two main configurations:
- 120-bird layer cage system: 3-tier layout, suitable for medium-sized farms
- 160-bird layer cage system: 4-tier layout, ideal for larger operations or limited floor space
Each unit consists of modular compartments designed for 3 to 5 hens per section, balancing bird comfort with space efficiency.
Key Features and Advantages
Galvanized Steel Construction
All structural components are made from hot-dip galvanized Q235 steel, ensuring strong corrosion resistance and a service life of up to 20 years.
Optimized Cage Dimensions
The cage cells are designed to allow natural bird movement while minimizing stress, which leads to improved laying performance and egg quality.
Efficient Egg Collection
Sloped cage floors gently guide eggs toward the front collection trays, minimizing egg breakage and labor. Optional automatic collection belts are available for larger operations.

Clean and Hygienic Waste Management
Each tier includes manure collection trays or belts for manual or automatic removal. This helps reduce ammonia buildup, lowers disease risks, and improves barn hygiene.
Feeding and Drinking Systems
- Manual or automatic feeding systems can be installed
- Each compartment includes nipple drinkers connected to a high-pressure water system
- Clean water is delivered consistently, reducing contamination
Optional System Upgrades
Our battery chicken cages are compatible with a variety of automation and expansion systems, including:
- Automatic feeding lines
- Egg collection conveyor systems
- Manure removal belts
- Environmental control systems (fans, foggers, lighting)
- Solar power integration for off-grid operations
