Advantages of Caged Laying Hens and Control of Cage Density

Cage Egg Breeding has a history of many years, and more than 90% of foreign developed countries adopt cage breeding for laying hens. Cage farming means that laying hens leave the ground and adopt a high-density, three-dimensional structure of rearing, which has more advantages than general plane rearing. Cage Egg Breeding is raised in a special environment and requires certain techniques to keep the body healthy, increase egg production and increase egg weight.

Advantages of caged laying hens

The breeding density of chickens is high, the number of rearing can reach 16 to 25/m2, and the required area is small. The utilization rate of the chicken house is high, and it can be fully mechanized so the labor productivity is significantly improved. The chickens have less activity, less feed intake, and a high feed conversion rate. In addition, the Laying Egg Chicken Equipment has a reasonable design, which can effectively avoid the waste caused by throwing the feed during feeding and water feeding. The amount of dust in the house is reduced, and the flocks cannot touch the feces, reducing the chance of contracting diseases and reducing the mortality rate significantly. The various environmental conditions of the chicken house in Cage Egg Breeding are easy to control, and the external disturbance is less, the egg production rate is high and relatively stable. At the same time, it is beneficial to keep the surface of the eggshell clean and reduce the appearance of dirty eggs. A cage is convenient to adopt restricted feeding, easy to observe the flock, conducive to writing production records, easy to catch chickens, and convenient to collect chicken manure.

Controlling the density of caged laying hens

Overcrowding can lead to increased mortality and reduced egg production, so the stocking density should be adjusted according to the size of the laying hen and the assembly of the Laying Egg Chicken Equipment. In the case of stepped feeding, the feeding quantity should be appropriately controlled at 10-12 animals/m2; in the case of semi-step feeding, it should be controlled at 15-17 animals/m2; in the case of three-layered feeding, it should be controlled at 16-18 animals/m2; When feeding in four layers, it is suitable to control 13 to 20 animals/m2. In addition, the smaller the size of the laying hens, the more chickens are raised per square meter. In addition, the density of the lower layer of Cage Egg Breeding can be appropriately larger, while the density of the upper layer of cages can be appropriately smaller.
