A Type Broiler Cage System for Commercial Poultry Farming

A type broiler cage is a type of battery cage designed for modern farms. The structure resembles the letter “A” from the side view; that’s where the name comes from. Both farmers and chickens benefit from the stepped structure. Broilers receive sufficient light and ventilation. For the poultry farmers, the simple structure makes observation, management, cleaning, and disinfection much easier. FAMtech offers manual, semi-automatic, and automatic A type broiler cage systems.

Key Advantages of the A Type Broiler Cage System

Solves the problem of chicken manure accumulation

The staggered cages allow feces to drop directly to the floor. Most clients choose to use a conveyor belt or ditch to take the manure away. This can not only keep a clean environment for chickens but also reduce labor for farm owners.

Economical and friendly to small to medium commercial poultry farms

A type broiler cage costs less than h type broiler cage. It is a good option for those who want to establish a modern broiler farm, making a plan for gaining long-term competition strength; however may lack enough funds. 

Saves space and land investment

The A type broiler cage system takes only a third to a fourth of the floor space of rearing farms. This means a lot to farmers in the regions where land price is high.

A Type and H Type Broiler Cage System Comparison

The main difference between these two types of cage systems lies in the recommended application scenarios. To make it simple to see, we list the factors in the table below for your reference.

Broiler Farming Systems: Cage System vs Floor System

In addition to increasing the number of chickens raised per unit area, cage farming enhances the growth environment for broiler chickens when combined with automated feeding technology and environmental control measures like temperature, humidity, lighting, ventilation, and manure removal. It lowers expenses and addresses issues, including high breeding costs, poor profits, environmental contamination, excessive medicine use, and trouble managing withdrawal symptoms when compared to free-range farming.
