Installation And Working Principle Of Cage Accessories



All accessories are installed after the cage frame is fully fixed.

No welding, cutting, or structural modification is required.

1. Feeding Accessories

Feed troughs are fixed to the front of the cage row using metal brackets.

Feed hoppers or feed pipes are positioned above or at the end of the cage line.

Feed flows into the trough by gravity, ensuring uniform feeding for all birds.

2. Drinking Accessories

PVC water pipes are installed along the top or inside of the cage line.

Nipple drinkers are mounted directly on the pipe at regular spacing.

Water is released only when birds peck the nipple, preventing leakage.

3. Egg Collection Accessories

The cage floor is designed with a 7–9° slope.

After laying, eggs roll forward naturally into egg trays or belts.

Egg guard wires prevent eggs from falling or colliding.

4. Manure Handling Accessories

Manure trays or belts are installed directly under the cage rows.

Droppings fall straight into the tray or onto the belt.

Manure is removed manually or at scheduled intervals to maintain hygiene.

5. Environmental Accessories

LED lights are installed above cage rows for even illumination.

Sensors are placed inside the poultry house to monitor temperature and air quality.

Timers and sensors help maintain stable production conditions.
