What is the differences between layer battery cage and broiler cage
Time : 11/12/2020

Basic information

When rearing poultry birds, the type of birds reared end the kind of cage to be used needs to be put into consideration. We categorically divide cages into three categories and they are broiler cages, layer battery cages and pullet cages. Broilers are known for their rapid growth so they attain a body weight of around 2.2 - 2.4kg within 6 weeks because they tend to eat more and drink more than other species so this aids their growth and their cages are designed in such a way that suit their characteristics. Their nipples are different from others 

Unlike layers which weighs 1.5 - 1.8kg and attain their sexual maturity at 20-22 weeks. Layers are reared mainly for their production of eggs so they cannot be reared in a broiler cage. The layer battery cages are used in poultries in performing daily poultry task with the ability to produce the desired result for the farmer

These automatic layer cages are made based on the industrialization and intensification of the chicken industry, automatic layer chicken cage equipment and related environmental control technologies have achieved some achievements, such as nipple drinking water technology, automatic feeding technology, cooling technology and livestock

Product description

The layer 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 broiler cages helps in better utilization of the space available and that is important especially when the lands are expensive. In addition, using broiler cage to raise broilers provide better hygienic condition that could lead to improving the health and quality of broilers. The mortality rate as well in is very low unlike other ways of keeping broilers

So many researches done has shown that raising broilers in  broiler cages could provide better production efficiency than raising broilers on the floor. Because of their differences boilers and layers cannot be reared in the same type of cage. Layer birds are reared in layer battery cage while broilers are reared in broiler cages

The differences between layer battery cage and broiler cage

1. Layer can only be kept in their cage at the point of laying eggs while broilers can be kept in their cages right from a day old

2. The feed capacity of layer battery cage is different from that of broiler cage

3. The bottom net of layer battery cage is not flat while the bottom net of broiler cage is flat 

4. The broiler cages must be caged. This is necessary for preventing the chicken from running away and easy to feed, so the horizontally adjustable baffle in front of the cage and the adjustment range is larger than that of battery layer cage

5. Broiler cages does work with an egg collection system while layer battery cages works with it
