Broiler Cage‑Rearing Equipment

I. Application

Main applicable breeds: Fast‑growing white‑feathered broilers as the primary target, also suitable for some short‑cycle yellow‑feathered broilers. Ideal for large‑scale commercial farms, with 30 000‑60 000 birds housed in a single poultry house and farm‑level capacities up to several hundred thousand birds.

Application scenarios: Full‑set equipment configuration for newly‑built standardised enclosed poultry houses; renovation and upgrading of old floor‑rearing chicken houses; preferred solution in farming zones with scarce and high‑cost land. Compatible with automatic chicken‑catching equipment for direct connection to slaughter and processing production lines.

Configuration tiers: High‑end fully‑automated packages or economical simplified layouts are both available. The system can be integrated with feed silos, centralised washing‑and‑disinfection facilities, manure‑treatment systems and cloud‑based monitoring platforms.

Civil‑engineering requirements: Enclosed steel‑structure poultry houses with high air‑tightness standards are required. Backup generators are mandatory to prevent environmental‑control shutdown caused by power failure. Supporting power distribution, drainage and manure‑outlet passages shall be provided.

II. Production

Core Equipment Components

Stacked cage frames and cage bodies

Generally constructed as a 3‑5‑tier stacked structure. All main frames undergo hot‑dip galvanising treatment for superior corrosion resistance and a service life of 15‑20 years. Large‑opening cage‑door design facilitates chick placement and chicken catching at slaughter. Optimised flexible cage‑bottom mesh reduces the incidence of breast blisters and leg disorders. All components are modular for on‑site assembly.

Feeding system

Feed silo + pan‑auger or travelling‑cart feeding lines, fitted with height‑adjustable broiler‑specific feed pans. Pan height can be adjusted according to bird age, and anti‑spill structures minimise feed waste. A PLC controller delivers timed and metered feed discharge, adjusts feed volumes at different growth stages and ensures even feed access across the whole house.

Drinking‑water system

Height‑adjustable integrated water lines equipped with 360‑degree stainless‑steel nipple drinkers. Supporting accessories include filters and automatic medicators for water‑based vaccination and medication. Pipeline flushing is convenient, lowering biofilm and bacterial growth inside water lines.

Manure‑removal system

PP manure‑removal conveyor belts are installed beneath each tier of cages and run automatically on a timed schedule. Manure is transported horizontally and obliquely before being directly loaded onto trucks for off‑site disposal. Manure remains dry, indoor ammonia emission is reduced and no litter material is required.

Environmental‑control system

Negative‑pressure exhaust fans, evaporative cooling pads, side‑wall inlet windows, heating equipment and a lighting system. Sensors collect data on temperature, humidity, ammonia and CO₂ levels, and automatically adjust ventilation, temperature and lighting according to the broilers’ age. Supports on‑site operation and remote mobile alarm notifications.

Intelligent management‑control system

PLC control cabinet, multiple sensors, large‑screen display and cloud platform. The system records feed consumption, water usage, mortality‑and‑culling data and environmental parameters, automatically generates farming reports and enables digital management of the entire farm.

Equipment Production and On‑site Implementation

Factory‑based processes include sheet‑metal cutting, welding, hot‑dip galvanising anti‑corrosion treatment, plastic‑part injection moulding and electric‑control assembly. Modular equipment packages are transported to the project site. Cage frames, feed lines, water lines, manure‑removal units and environmental‑control wiring are installed in accordance with construction drawings. No‑load commissioning is performed first, followed by trial operation with live birds. The facility is handed over for production only once all parameters meet specifications.

III. Services

Pre‑project planning: On‑site survey, poultry‑house layout, cage‑position arrangement, ventilation thermal‑calculation, equipment selection, complete‑scheme delivery and assistance with investment‑cost estimation.

Installation and commissioning: Professional on‑site installation team, water‑electricity‑gas connection, configuration of feeding, temperature, ventilation and lighting process parameters for different bird ages.

Personnel training: Training for stockmen and equipment maintenance technicians covering equipment operation, routine inspection, fault handling and standard operating procedures (SOP) for poultry‑house washing and disinfection.

After‑sales operation & maintenance: 7×24‑hour technical support, supply of wearing parts, periodic return‑visit inspections, remote troubleshooting for feed‑line and environmental‑control faults, and provision of equipment‑maintenance manuals.

Value‑added services: Renovation and upgrading of existing farms; supporting schemes for automatic chicken‑catching and manure‑treatment systems; delivery of technical documentation required for project acceptance.

IV. Advantages

High land‑use efficiency: Multi‑tier vertical housing achieves a stocking capacity 2‑3 times higher than floor‑rearing within the same building footprint. Land resources are conserved and civil‑engineering costs are amortised.

Substantial labour reduction: Full automation of feeding, drinking‑water supply, manure removal and environmental control. Only a small workforce is required for a house containing tens of thousands of birds, lowering labour intensity and human‑induced bird stress.

Litter‑free operation and enhanced biosecurity: Real‑time manure removal via conveyor belts prevents birds from coming into contact with faeces, reducing the risk of coccidiosis and other intestinal diseases. No litter procurement costs are incurred.

Stable production performance: Precise enclosed environmental‑control maintains steady indoor conditions, low ammonia levels and fewer respiratory diseases. Higher survival rates, improved feed‑conversion ratio and uniform slaughter‑age weight are achieved.

Manure suitable for resource‑recycling: Dry manure can be transported directly off‑site and processed into organic fertiliser, easing manure‑treatment pressure.

Easy standardised replication: Strict all‑in‑all‑out batch management aligns with slaughter‑house order requirements, supporting large‑scale enterprise expansion and duplication.

Objective limitations: Higher one‑time capital investment compared with floor‑rearing; stringent requirements for poultry‑house air‑tightness and reliable power supply; multiple maintenance points, requiring basic on‑site equipment‑maintenance capabilities.
