Specification of a 3-tier layer cage

A type 3 tier layer cage dimension

A set of type 3 tier layer cages can accommodate 120 white layers or 90 brown layers. 

The A-type 3-tier layer cage system can be configured for manual operation or semi-automatic operation. Optional equipment includes an egg-collection machine, an automatic feeding machine, and an automatic manure removal system. Flexible combinations are optional.

Cold-galvanized cages cost less than hot-galvanized cages. The former is suitable for African countries, and the latter is suitable for Southeast Asia, which requires anti-corrosion properties in a humid climate.

H-type 3-tier layer cage dimension

The main difference between the H-type 3-tier layer cage and the A-type 3-tier layer cage is that the h type 3-teir cage takes less floor space, and integrates with fully automatic systems.

ROI analysis

Investment range

For a standard 5000 layer poultry farm, total investment typically ranges from USD 45,000 to 70,000. (Please note this price range may vary depending on the specific project.)

Lifespan expected

The expected lifespan for a hot galvanized cage and a cold galvanized cage is 20-30 years and 12 years, respectively.

Maintenance costs

Maintenance costs usually make up about 10–15% of overall operating costs for facilities with 1,000–10,000 cage units. Direct maintenance costs are roughly as follows:

• Cleaning and basic inspection costs per cage each day: around $0.15 to $0.30
• Each cage's monthly replacement of spare parts costs between $1 and $2.

Increase in egg production

The 3-tier layer cage can increase egg production 3 to 4 times compared to floor rearing.
