Why choose our 5000 layer poultry farm design?
- Suitable for the flock size, local climate, and budget
- Rationally planned design of chicken farm dimensions, cage layout, and aisle
- Integrated crucial functional components like water supply, ventilation, and waste disposal system
- The space and density meet the activity and management needs of the chickens
Chicken cage dimensions and optimal layout
The overall size of the chicken house is approximately 13,240 sq ft, designed to accommodate 5,000 layers. 56 sets of 3-tier A type cage are arranged in 4 rows.
Length: 40 m (The total length of 14 sets of cages/row and a reserved distance between cages+4m at both ends)
Width: 12m (The total length of the width of 3 sets of cages and the aisle space)
Height: 2.55m (The height of the layer cage plus the height of the feeding equipment )
Chicken cage dimension
This project adopts a 3-tier A type layer cage with a dimension of 1.95m×2.3m×1.5m. The cage provides moderate density, which allows for ample space for activity and natural light, reducing stress and the risk of disease.
Advantages
- More space for each chicken: 3 birds/cell, making larger movement space for each chicken. For this specific 3-tier layer cage, it is 533 cm².
- The total height of a 3-tier A type layer cage is smaller than the 4-tier A type layer cage, bringing the benefit of better light and ventilation.
- The chicken house height is moderate, making manual operation convenient, and daily tasks such as egg collection, cleaning, and vaccination can be easily performed.
- The chicken house has good ventilation, and the temperature and humidity are easy to control.
- Stable structure, standardized production, simple construction, and easy maintenance.
- The layout can be flexibly adjusted by combining rows and columns, making it suitable for egg farms of different sizes.
Reasonable space and aisle design
The design takes into account both the operational space and the saving of land. Both ends of the longitudinal are reserved with 4 meters, allowing for the implementation of chicken feeding equipment or egg collecting equipment. Enough space between each row of chicken cage sets, and the space between cages and walls brings convenience for workers in daily operation and management.
Automated Feeding & Watering Systems
- Automatic or semi-automatic drinking lines
- Feed distribution: feeding machine + silo outside the chicken house
- Reduces labor cost, ensures a stable feed supply
Efficient Ventilation & Lighting for Healthy Hens
- Natural or mechanical ventilation
- Proper light distribution for egg production
- Optional heating or shading for climate control
Easy Cleaning & Manure Handling
The manure drops into the manure drainage ditch and will be removed by scraper machines. Or, use a manure belt conveying system to complete the disposal of the waste. It helps reduce disease risk and labor input and is an economic choice.
