Product description

A battery cage is a small metal wire cage of approximately 16” by 18”. The battery cages are commonly arranged back-to-back in three rows of identical small metal wire cages connected together like battery cell. In this housing system, hens have access to automatic management-controlled feed and water

Also, the wire cage floors are made in such a way that the eggs roll down to the egg tray for easy automatic collection. Similarly, hens’ droppings fall through the wire cage floor either onto a conveyor belt or into a pit for disposal. The number of hens kept in chicken battery cages can vary depending on the size of the cage and chicken battery cage is used to reduce cannibalism among the chickens

The battery cage has some components which help to perform specific duties with little or no stress such as an automatic feeding hopper which helps take chicken feed from a central hopper or a bin out to feed the birds continuously all day. The automatic egg collector’s conveyor belt takes the eggs to the header, the flexible fingers carefully place the eggs on a cross conveyor, which then take the eggs to the classifier room and this helps to reduce broken eggs

The products are manufactured using strong raw materials and advanced techniques to offer long-lasting services. The component of a battery cage makes rearing of poultry birds easier and with less stress. The battery cage enables large number of birds to be reared at the same time
