2. System Overview Of Automatic A Frame Battery Cage System For Brooders

This cage model includes plastic mesh inserts for chicks, automatic feeding troughs, and an integrated manure belt system.

Capacity Design For 3 Tiers Of Cage System (15,000 Pullets)

Each cage set includes galvanized frames, drinking lines, feeders, and manure belts. Optional features include plastic chick mesh and chick starter kits.

The modular design of this battery cage system for breeders allows flexible expansion or contraction. 

Farms that later wish to scale to 20,000 birds need only 46 more cage sets and a proportional bump in utilities.

3. Feeding, Drinking, Cleaning, Heating, Ventilation And IOT System

Our automatic A frame battery cage system for brooders supports pullets from Day 1 onward. The growing process is staged, and automation evolves with the chick's maturity.

(1) Cage System

• Accessories: Cage doors (sliding/bolt type), partition grids, support clips, anti-escape latches, plastic floor mesh (for chicks), bolts, connecting plates, galvanized coating, rust-proof coating

• Structure: A-type stepped multi-tier horizontal design, 3–16 tiers; single cage unit size 90–100 cm × 60–65 cm × 40–45 cm; each unit accommodates 8–12 growing chickens

• Function: Provides a safe and stable environment, protects chick feet, facilitates cleaning and activity for growing chickens

• Working Principle
  Floor mesh inclined 7–12° for smooth feces removal
  Chicks placed on lower tiers in early stage to protect feet
  Floor mesh removable for growing chickens to stand on metal mesh or cage floor

• layered rearing: chicks initially concentrated in lower tiers, then evenly distributed across all tiers as they grow, ensuring air circulation and balanced space

(2) Frame and Support System 

Stronger Cage Frame

• Accessories: Hot-dip galvanized rectangular tubes, hot-dip galvanized flat iron, bolts, connecting plates, galvanized coating, rust-proof coating, adjustable support feet

• Structure: Frame made of hot-dip galvanized rectangular tubes combined with flat iron, thickness 2.5–3.0 mm; adjustable support feet 5–10 cm

• Function: Provides stable support, ensures long-term safety of multi-tier cages, prevents deformation and tilting

• Working Principle
  Beams and vertical posts evenly distributed for balanced load
  Flat iron reinforces cage rigidity, reducing structural looseness
  Adjustable feet maintain cage level; single-tier load ≥150–200 kg; overall lifespan ≥25 years

(3) Fully Automatic Feeding System

• Accessories: Screw-type feeder, chain-type feeder, galvanized/PVC feed troughs, trough hooks, anti-spill edges, small feed tubes (for chicks), adjustment brackets, controller, drive motor

• Structure: Screw-type suitable for short distance/small-scale feeding; chain-type suitable for long distance/multi-tier feeding; feed trough length 1.5–2.2 m, depth 10–12 cm; small feed tube installed at low position for chicks

• Function: Automates feed distribution, increases feeding efficiency, reduces labor intensity

• Working Principle:
  Chicks: small feed tube facilitates feeding and prevents waste/competition
  Growing chickens: small feed tube removed, standard feed trough used
  Screw or chain conveyor automatically distributes feed according to preset program, feed efficiency increased by 80–100%

(4) Fully Automatic Drinking System

• Accessories: Nipple drinkers (standard and low-position for chicks), PVC pipes (Φ20–25 mm), T-joints, pressure regulator, water tank/booster pump (optional), filter, installation brackets and clamps

• Structure: Each unit equipped with 2–3 standard nipple drinkers; each tier has 2 low-position nipples for chicks; pressure regulator adjustable

• Function: Provides clean and stable water, suitable for different growth stages of chicks and growing chickens

• Working Principle
  Chicks: low-position nipple 10–12 cm high, flow rate 30–50 ml/min
  Growing chickens: nipple height adjustable to 25–30 cm; automatic water supply ensures clean water with <5% cross-contamination

(5) Fully Automatic Manure Removal System

(5-1) Belt Cleaning (Longitudinal Conveyor)

• Accessories: Longitudinal conveyor belt (PVC/rubber), drive motor, rollers, tension device, manure cart

• Structure: Installed under cage floor, width 1.8–2.4 m, thickness 1.0–1.2 mm

• Function: Reduces manual cleaning frequency, improves manure handling efficiency, improves air quality

• Working Principle: Motor runs periodically to move manure to transverse conveyor; cleaned 1–2 times/day; efficiency 3–5× higher than manual; ammonia reduced ~40%

(5-2) Transverse Conveyor (Central Collection)

• Accessories: Transverse conveyor, drive motor, rollers, collection area

• Structure: Manure from longitudinal conveyor collected and moved to house end collection area

• Function: Centralizes manure collection, facilitates unified processing, improves overall cleaning efficiency

• Working Principle: Suitable for multi-tier houses or high manure volume

(5-3) Type 2 Scraper Cleaning

Scrapers Under Cages

• Accessories: Scraper, drive motor, guide rails, tension device, manure tray or hopper

• Structure: Cage floor has manure gutter; scraper moves along gutter to scrape manure into collection tray

• Function: Suitable for high manure output or where belt installation is limited; improves cleaning efficiency

• Working Principle: Automatically starts at set intervals; scraper collects manure; efficiency 2–4× higher than manual; ammonia reduced ~30–35%

(6) IoT Smart Control System (Optional)

• Accessories: Sensors, controller, data acquisition module, remote monitoring app

• Structure: Sensors placed in all cage layers and key environmental points, collecting real-time feed, water, temperature, humidity, ammonia, and CO₂ data

• Function: Remote monitoring and automatic control of feeding, water, lighting, and fans; automatic alerts

• Working Principle: Alerts for ammonia >25 ppm or temperature ±1.5°C; reduces chick mortality 12–15% in early stage

(7) Environmental Control: Ventilation & Temperature Management (Optional)

• Accessories: Tunnel fans, sidewall air inlets with deflectors, cooling pads/misting system, temperature control panel, sensors

• Structure: Ventilation and cooling devices controlled by PID panel and sensors; automatically adjust fan speed and air intake

• Function: Maintains suitable temperature and humidity, reduces respiratory disease, improves flock health and production

• Working Principle: Chicks: 32–35°C; growing chickens: 21–25°C; humidity 50–65%; PID adjusts fans and cooling devices; night passive ventilation maintained; balanced airflow reduces wet litter and respiratory issues ~35%

"Essential Tips For Managing Poultry Farms With Battery Cage Systems For Brooders"

4. Manual Harvesting And Why It Still Works

Rearing 2-16 Weeks Day Old Chicken

Though most of the process is automated, harvesting remains a manual operation in A-type battery cage system for brooders. Here’s why it still makes sense:

(1) Manual harvest avoids cage damage

(2) Workers can visually inspect bird condition

(3) Gentle handling reduces wing or leg injuries
