In poultry business, most of the south-east Asian countries have a common characteristic where their poultry farm is close to the ocean and only have two or three seasons in a year which is season (cold) hot season, the rainy season, at the age of high temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall. So most of the region of chicken layer breeding is by using two tiers of open hen house because climate cause of using closed loop control system in the hen house work load is too large the safety of the hen house will be a challenge

Open house is combined with the local climate conditions and reduces costs to ensure the safety of the henhouse factors such as comprehensive this choice. The customer used 3 rows 4 tiers cage system.  The layer house size length 121.0m, width is 12.5m and the height is (1.6m+1.6m=3.2m). Lower level of 1.06 meters for concrete structure is the upper level for steel structure. So the chicken manure can fall into the bottom of the ground directly, no chicken manure pollution

Combined with high temperatures in south-east Asia, the manure can get faster evaporation to facilitate a single breeding cycle ends, the underlying use of manure collector can help to clean up the chicken manure easily. The 3 row 4 tiers equipment, each row 53 sets, a total of 159 sets, each set can feed 200 birds, pavilions breeding of 31,800 only. The customers uses drinking water system, automatic driving feeding system with 11.2 tons of galvanized sheet metal tower, with automatic egg system, further enhance the automation

The cage to use 275 GSM galvanized sheet, automatic stamping press, convenient transportation and installation, the cage net undergoes hot dip galvanized surface treatment technology which applies to the local hot and humid climate environment. Battery cage system are galvanized wire cages for chickens which are generally wanted in the poultry market as a whole, it is more used in the poultry farms because of its advantages over every other chicken rearing equipment

Benefits

1. Battery cage system boost the health of the chickens

Most poultry farmers do not get healthy results from their chicken rearing because they have ignored the use of battery cage system. They are very good means of accommodating your chickens in healthy conditions that will boost their reproduction, original battery cages are not mere cages with wire mesh floor and essential heating elements for brooding chickens. Quality and superior battery cage system are designed to outweigh an ordinary wire mesh cage. The wire floor is designed to allow manure go through it, taking it away from the chickens surroundings and eventually minimizing the risks of manure-borne diseases. This will keep the chickens healthy and make chicken rearing a task worthwhile for the poultry farmer

2. Increases egg production

A chicken that is healthy will significantly become more productive than chickens reared in environments that do not boost their health. Enriched battery cages increase the potential of egg production in chickens. In fact, recent estimations reveal that sixty percent of eggs used in products such as mayonnaise, sandwiches and cakes are from chickens reared in battery cages. This reveals that chickens have more tendencies to produce eggs in battery cage system compared to other rearing systems. It is more advisable to use battery cage system to aid egg production

3. Qualitative feeding for the chickens

The battery cage system makes feeding for chickens a habitual process which connotes more care for the chickens. This is because the chickens are fed through a long bisected metal or plastic pipe and water is served to them with overhead nipple systems which are set before the chickens. This makes it easy for the poultry farmer to care for the chickens with frequent and adequate food and water. Chickens are well-catered for in battery cages and this makes them healthier and more productive
