Basic information

This poultry farm project is created by Luoto in West Africa and it has to do with chicken cage that can contain about 100,000 birds. The cost of building a layer chicken house that can accommodate 100,000 layers depends on its design and material specifications. You have for each of the design alternatives, the ground conditions and the availability of specific materials in the poultry area

Depending on the size of the building, this chicken farm is capable of small to large-scale egg production. There are two main types of poultry houses, an automated and the mechanically ventilated house, and a naturally ventilated house. The design you choose depends on many factors such as the weather/climate conditions in your region, the amount of budget (finances) you have for each of the design alternatives, the ground conditions and the availability of specific materials in the poultry area

If you need to improve productivity and increase efficiency on your farm, you will have to invest in technology. An automated layer house has mechanically controlled systems such as chicken cage for feeding, drinking, egg collection and manure removal. The ventilation is also automated, adjusting and changing accordingly with the environmental temperature, wind pressure, humidity and lighting

2. It comes with nipple drinker which is installed with ease-to-reach the height that enables the birds to consume water in an ideal and healthy manner

3. The offered chicken cages are the hybrid variety, coming with high-quality imported feeders that are remarkable for their lightweight and durability. The imported feeders also greater improve the aesthetic value of the chicken cages and have exceptional ability to resist corrosion

4. The feeding trough is made from a premium material that prevents rust and therefore lasts longer. They are remarkably lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and makes feeding very efficient

5. Also, they help prevent feed wastage because of their strategic shape

6. The chicken cage is ideal for pen houses with a low roof. This chicken cage makes backyard farming easy, convenient, and efficient. It is perfect for people with a passion for raising layers especially when the eggs are intended for family consumption, and also suitable for small-scale farmers

7. The chicken cage system should meet current bird space standard. You need a modular belt cage system that offers easy shipping, improved egg roll-out and simplicity

Components

1. Automatic manure removal system

The manure removal system is specially developed for layer chicken cage farms. The

manure removal system directly transfers the chicken manure outside the chicken house and helps in the reduction of smell from the chicken house, it provides a clean and comfortable growing environment for the chicken, chicken to epidemic prevention effect to reduce the incidence of disease, while saving labour costs, save time and effort to improve the efficiency of breeding, this is the magic power of conveyor belt manure machine

2. Automatic egg collection

Automatic egg collection uses an automatic tray which employs a mechanical system powered by energy which collects the egg that has rolled to the front of the cage, and moves it to a collection point for identification, classification and packaging. Its proper functioning should be constantly checked, and periodic maintenance must be carried out, the egg production cycle to ensure good efficiency, high quality, and safety, it is an important step to the egg collection

3. Automatic drinker

For bell drinkers, as for feeder pans on a line, the rim-to-rim distance between the drinkers should be 90.0m, so that birds may walk unimpeded to the nest. Any obstruction here will also result in floor eggs

4. Automatic feeding system

The automatic feeding system consists of hoppers that are specially designed for H frame cage system. It is connected with the augers which help to deliver the feed from silo to hopper and then transfers it to the feeding troughs. It is a very popular design for H-frame cage in poultry farms. Its working advantages includes the following process such as saving of labours, uniform feeding, easy to clean, not easy to hide food, the trough are 100% clean and the material is anticlastic

Advantages

1. It saves more cost because of its much lowered investment 

2. It saves more space and raises a greater number of chickens reared per unit. It helps in identifying poor producers and prompt culling

3. It is easy to deliver and install in a client’s farm

4. It is designed as layer chicken house, it can help in production of clean eggs because the egg conveyor system can deliver all eggs from different houses to egg storage room, Feed efficiency and egg weight are better in caged chickens

5. It has control over parasitic disease and worm infestation because the caged birds can make better epidemic prevention

6. Prompt steps to control feed wastage because of the longer design feed trough edge

7. The cage method of housing is ideal for the area of moderated climate conditions where the day temperature in summer is not high or fall too low

8. Egg production of caged layer was reported to be more than those kept in deep litter system

9. The overlap parts is smaller so the chicken house can get much better ventilation, it can be used both in open or close house according clients’ needs

10. It has a better protection against corrosion, the drinking nipple has a v-channel and each hen can easily reach two nipples

Principles

1. The poultry house should be located away from residential and industrial area

2. It should have proper road facilities

3. It should have the basic amenities like water and electricity

4. Availability of farm labourers at relatively cheaper wages

5. Poultry house should be located in an elevated area and there should not be any water-logging

6. It should have proper ventilation

7. Layout should not allow visitors or outside vehicles near the sheds

8. The sheds should be so located that the fresh air first passes through the brooder shed, followed by grower and layer sheds. This will prevent the spread of diseases from layer houses to brooder house

9. There should be a minimum distance of 50-100 feet between chick and grower shed and the distance between grower and layer sheds should be of minimum 100 metre

10. The egg store room, office room and the feed store room should be located near entrance to minimize the movement of people around the poultry sheds

11. The disposal pit and sick room should be constructed only at the extreme end of the site
