Plan A Vs Plan B
Benefit of plan A:
The layout of plan A is compact, which can provide a higher breeding density, suitable for customers with limited land areas.
Benefit of plan B:
The broiler cage has 3 tiers, and a suitable height convenient for broiler harvesting. And the single side feed design enables two sets of broiler cages share one group of feeding machines, saving equipment costs. The other side is equipped with fully-opening cage doors, making it much easier for the broiler to go in and out.
