Cage chickens use different forms of chicken cages to limit chicks, laying hens, broilers, breeders, etc. to a certain space, and use mechanized or mechanized methods to manually control the light, temperature, humidity, and feeding in the chicken house. Feeding compound feed to obtain good economic, social and ecological benefits, high-density factory feeding technology.my country began to develop cage chicken technology in the 1960s, and was subsequently adopted by the majority of chicken farmers, which quickly pushed my country's chicken technology to a new development period. At the same time, it directly brings obvious economic benefits to chicken farmers, and also brings great social and ecological benefits.
1. Provincial housing and land
A single cage for caged chickens is generally about 40 cm square, and the bottom area of the cage is about 1600 square cm. It can raise 4 chickens, each of which occupies about 400 square cm, and multi-layer chicken cages can be set up to make full use of it. The three-dimensional rearing is carried out in the space, so that the density is high. Generally, more than 20 animals can be raised per square meter on the ground, which is 2-3 times more than that of the free-ranging on the ground. The ground free-range generally also requires an outdoor sports field, and each chicken covers an area of at least 0.6 square meters, but the cage does not need to consider the sports field. In this way, the ground is saved from the chicken coop or the sports field. Some chicken farmers raise 110 chickens in a 10-square-meter hut. If they are free-range, they can only raise 30-40 chickens.
2. Save Feed
Cage chickens live in cages, with low activity, less energy consumption, and less food; at the same time, chickens raised in the chicken house are less affected by cold wind and low temperature, which reduces the heat energy consumption of the chickens, and can also reduce the heat consumption of the chickens. The heat energy dissipated is used to maintain room temperature, which reduces the feed grain required by the chicken to maintain body temperature; at the same time, the feed trough is outside the cage, and the chicken does not waste the feed when eating, which can reduce feed waste. While ensuring that the caged chickens can eat evenly, each caged chicken can save 5-10 grams of feed per day.
3. Save labor and time
Ground chickens need to clean the sports field every day to eliminate manure. It takes a lot of time to feed each time, and the chickens will chase people when feeding water. Picking up eggs is also more troublesome. Feeding caged chickens saves time and will not affect feeding due to crowded and turbulent chickens. At the same time, the chicken manure is accumulated under the cage. As long as it is kept dry, the manure can be cleaned at a fixed time, or it can be cleaned in a centralized manner after raising a batch of chickens. It is very convenient to inspect chickens, catch chickens and pick up eggs at the same time.
