Cage Free Poultry Farming
Cage free systems are a modern solution for poultry farming. Compared with the conventional layer cage system, this system improves the farming environment and helps enhance hen welfare and egg quality. As a result, more and more farmers are shifting to cage free poultry arming.
In a cage free house, hens can move freely. They can scratch, forage, and dust bathe. This helps improve their health and reduce stress. The system also includes nesting boxes. These guide hens to lay eggs in specific areas and help keep eggs clean and easy to collect.
ABC Machinery provides one-stop cage free system solutions. The system includes automatic feeding systems, drinking systems, egg collection systems, and perches. Feed and water are evenly distributed to support stable growth. Separate laying areas help improve egg cleanliness and collection efficiency.
Types of Cage Free Poultry
Cage-free systems are divided into three main types. Each system provides nesting, feeding, drinking, and perching areas. Hens also have enough space to express natural behaviors.
Single Tier Cage Free Systems
In a single-tier cage free house, hens can move freely. They can scratch, forage, and dust bathe. They can also interact with other hens.
Feeders and drinkers are placed above the floor. Nesting boxes are also positioned for easy access and clean egg laying.
Perches are installed throughout the house. Hens can move around and rest on them.
Multi Tier Cage Free Systems
The multi-tier cage free system uses a vertical structure. Hens can move between different levels without cages.
Feeders and drinkers are installed on different tiers. They are placed above manure belts. This helps keep the house clean and improves management.
Hens can move on the floor and platforms. They can scratch, forage, and dust bathe. Perches are provided for night roosting.
Nesting boxes are installed in the house. Hens lay eggs in specific areas. This keeps eggs clean and easy to collect.
Hybrid Multi-Tier Systems
The hybrid multi-tier cage free system combines a vertical structure with open floor space. Hens can move freely between different levels. They can also easily access the floor area.
Each level is equipped with feed, water, perches, and nesting areas.
Hens can scratch, forage, and interact on the floor. They can also move up and down using perches and ramps.
