Broiler Cages

Fully Automat Broiler Cage

The first question that arises for a person who is applying for a poultry farm is always how to choose the right dimensions of the hall and what are the specifications of the broiler cage and the equipment for that hall. In this text, we want to share practical, scientific and standard information with you.

Breeding broilers in cages has been popular among poultry farmers for some time due to its many advantages, such as having a lower conversion rate, less electricity and fuel consumption, and less labor.

In general, there are five types of cages for chickens, which are categorized as follows:

1. Poultry farming of commercial laying hens
2. Poultry farming
3. Poultry farming in the form of rearing in cages
4. Poultry farming of laying hens
5. And other poultry, such as raising partridges and quails, etc.

Advantages and features of the broiler cage:

Keeping broiler chickens in cages has been very popular in the world for a long time. In some parts of the world, its use has faced restrictions due to issues related to the protection of animal rights. But its features and advantages in keeping broiler chicken cannot be ignored. For example, due to the less mobility of the animal in the cage systems, Zarib has a better conversion and reaches the ideal weight in the poultry house in earlier days. This issue is especially important in the situation in which the country has been liberalized and the price of animal feed is very high.

As one of the other advantages of broiler cages, it can be mentioned that more chickens can be kept in cage systems (up to three times more compared to keeping them in bed). This issue makes the number of chicken halls and sheds to be built less. In this case, managing a mechanized salon can be much easier than managing three salons.

Other features of the broiler cage:

• Having a lower conversion factor
• Less electricity and fuel consumption
• Need less labor per capacity
• More convenience in managing and controlling the salon
• The possibility of using a green or antibiotic-free chicken production program
• Accurate record of statistics
• Regular and easier discharge at the end of the period and with less stress for the bird
• Improving breeding and production efficiency

Broiler cage price

The price of broiler cages is very variable due to the high fluctuations of its raw materials. The price of the chicken cage is more affordable in halls that are longer. Keep in mind that broiler cage systems can be used in high capacities (over 30,000 pieces). And in low capacities, due to the very high cost of each chicken head, it will not be economically justified.

Therefore, the price of the chicken cage can be determined based on the capacity. Today, when I am updating this article (the end of March 1402), the price of chicken cages is 140k Tomans per chicken head. (In dollars, it is approximately equal to 2.5 dollars).

Consultancy on buying a broiler cage

Well, as we know, the preparation of fully automatic broiler cages is associated with spending a lot of money. Therefore, in choosing and buying it, you should do a lot of research and consider various issues so that you don’t suffer a lot of losses later. When buying poultry equipment, you should always keep in mind that this cost is one of the fixed costs and that the first and last owner of this equipment is the poultry farmer himself. Therefore, you should be very careful in the purchase process and use the advice of experienced experts and the experience of poultry farmers who are busy using these systems. In the following, I would like to draw your attention to some important things in buying broiler cages.

• We recommend the use of meat cage systems for poultry farmers who have sufficient experience in breeding. If you are just planning to start broiler breeding, it is necessary to get enough training in this regard and be sure to use animal science experts in breeding. I have collected materials about broiler chicken breeding, which are discussed on the principles of broiler chicken breeding, which can be downloaded through the following link:

• Using cage systems has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, there are concerns in the end-of-course process and sterilization issues of cage systems. The flame thrower, which is impossible, and the excessive use of detergents can affect the cage and its useful life. All these cases have detailed explanations, which I have discussed more thoroughly in the comparison of broiler breeding in cages and beds.
• The dimensions of your hall in terms of length, width and height should be in accordance with keeping broilers in a cage. This necessity is due to the sensitivities of providing the standards required by birds, such as suitable air and biological and sanitary conditions for poultry farming. Therefore, if you are planning to set up a hall, you can check the appropriate dimensions of the chicken farm, where I have examined the types of halls, including two floors, one floor and halls that are suitable for broiler chicken cages.
• At KarnoTech Group, we try to be with chicken farmers in all stages of establishing and equipping chicken farms. It is also possible to visit the factory and the process of making cages, which can be provided with further arrangements. Also, we consider chicken farmers who are currently using these systems to be the best buying guide.
