Breeding management is a fundamental system within the poultry industry which produces animals destined for egg production (laying birds) or meat production (broilers). Management in these farms is complex and must consider different aspects that have an impact on the reproduction of the birds

The most important thing to be put in placed in a poultry farm is to maintain a good environment and keep the chickens healthy. The house should be kept clean for the arrival of the new chicks rather than placing them in where the old flocks from where moved out from, this means that everything from the drinkers and feed bowls to the walls and floors have to be cleaned properly and sanitised

The purpose of layer management is to provide a proper condition that can ensure the optimum performance of the birds. Given reasonable conditions, brooding hens are very successful at hatching their chicks, but good hatchability using artificial incubation (both large and small) relies on careful management of temperature, humidity, ventilation, position and egg turning. During incubation, the egg loses water vapour through its shell, the rate of water loss depends on both the shell structure and the humidity of the air surrounding the egg

Incubator house is a structure or building designed for the accommodation of incubators and the incubation of the eggs of poultry. Incubator houses are built as part of various poultry farms, breeding farms, and poultry hatcheries

Most layers are housed in battery cages and should be moved to these facilities at least one week before egg production begins. Breeders moved from a growing house to an adult house should also be given at least one week to adjust to their new environment before the stress of egg production begins. Beaks should be retrimmed as necessary, and cull birds removed at the time of rehousing. Of all chicken breeds, layers require more care and attention because of the relationship that exists between their production and the profitability of the enterprise. When a laying bird housed in battery cage is stressed or unproductive, the enterprise bears the loss. Most farmers accord their losses to the genetic make-up their laying birds; however, lack of proper management can also deteriorate the productivity

Layer birds kept in battery cage, eating a normal ratio and laying at a rate of 80%, will produce about 180 kilocalories of heat every day. Thus 10,000 layers will produce as much heat in a day as a furnace burning 231 litres of fuel oil, this means that on a warm summer day, a ventilation failure could result in a rise in the temperature, within the building, of 16°C in one hour. When the hen is in a comfortable environmental temperature (21-25°C) she will lose most of that heat by sensible means. Sensible heat loss is by three pathways

Battery cages are a housing system used for various animal production methods, but primarily for egg-laying hens. The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected together, in a unit, as in an artillery battery. Although the term is usually applied to poultry farming, similar cage systems are used for other animals, Battery cages have generated controversy between advocates for animal welfare and industrial producers. What differentiates the chicken battery cage from most other cages is that its floors slope from back to front

In the breeding mode of broiler chickens, the most common method of breeding is to use broiler cages to breed broilers. It is a kind of broiler breeding equipment designed for broilers. It is a kind of chicken cage specially developed for broiler chickens, which is combined with the growth characteristics and feeding methods of broilers. The use of cages to raise broilers has great benefits

Battery cages are the predominant form of housing for laying hens worldwide, they reduce aggression and cannibalism among hens, but there are restriction of movement, prevent many natural behavior and increase rates of osteoporosis. Currently, approximately 95% of eggs in the world wide were produced in battery cages. The move to ban the use of battery cage at a time has drastically reduced the productions of eggs and equally affect the economic at large as well as individual before it was now globally accepted as the best way to rear birds to keep them safe

Chicken cage in poultry farming is set out to correct and proffer lasting solutions poultry farmers are facing in poultry sector. A purpose driven being always strife to achieve a desirable result. Aim can be referred to as a purpose or intention of achieving a desired outcome, we can as well say it is a way of directing a weapon or missile at a target. We should now ask what could be the aim of bringing cage system into poultry farming

The farming mode for broilers that raising broilers in a flat land is a common method used by farmers in the past few years. And farming broilers in the battery cage system is an emerging way of raising chickens in the most poultry farming industry in recent years because of the emergence of automatic equipment in raising broiler, many farmers cannot help but be puzzled when choosing broiler breeding equipment. What kind of breeding method should be used to farm broilers? Some farmers will choose broiler battery cage system. What are the reasons for poultry farmers to choose battery cages to raise broilers instead of flat raising broilers?

Instruction is the key that unlock the uses of any machine or equipment that you know nothing about and it is essential to guide these instructions with all diligence as it will help us to overcome every difficulty that may arise in the course of operating the equipment that we purchase. Farming is a much broader term that is used for various different kinds of farming methods collectively. Farming is not restricted to the growing of crops only, but even the raising of cows, goat and domestic birds like chicken, ducks; turkey’s etc. Our focus will be chickens that are raised in poultry battery cages especially on automatic type. What are the reasons for adopting this method? How effective this method has been in recent years while raising hens through poultry battery cages?
