Automatic Egg Belt


  • This modern housing system, the layer slatted floor system, is built for comfort, hygiene, durability, and steady egg production, ensuring healthier flocks and lasting farm productivity. 

  • Imagine a bright poultry house where hens stand on raised slatted floors, automatic feeding, drinking, manure removal system, and also egg collection.

  • Eggs roll safely to trays, and droppings fall below, keeping the air clean and the floor dry.

"Key Advantages Of Our Automated Layer Slatted Floor System"


3. System Accessories, Materials And Working Principles

(1) Automatic Feeding System

broiler slatted floor system (8)


broiler slatted floor system (9)


  • Fittings: Feed silo (3-10 tons), galvanized feed troughs, chain feeder or push cart system.

  • Working Principle
    Feed silo ensures steady feed supply into troughs.
    Feed is evenly moved through troughs using a chain or auger.
    Each hen has access to consistent feed portions, reducing waste and competition.

(2) Nipple Drinking Line

broiler slatted floor system (12)


  • Fittings: Water storage tanks (500-1,000 liters), stainless steel nipple drinkers, PVC water pipe, pressure regulator.

  • Working Principle:
    Water storage tank works with nipple system to stabilize flow.
    Birds peck nipples to release water directly into their beaks.
    The regulator controls steady pressure, preventing leaks and ensuring clean supply.

(3) Manure Collection System

broiler slatted floor system (4)


  • Fittings: Polypropylene manure belt or scraper, gearbox motor.

  • Working Principle
    A key part of the layer slatted floor system, droppings fall through floor gaps to the belt below.
    Waste is transferred outside the house, keeping floors dry and air clean.

(4) Lighting System

broiler slatted floor system (1)


  • Fittings: LED strip lights with programmable timer, backup generator

  • Working Principle
    Adjustable artificial light simulates daylight hours, maintaining a 16-hour light cycle to stabilize egg production and reduce stress.
    Backup generator protects against power outages in remote areas.

(5) Ventilation Setup

broiler slatted floor system (4)


  • Fittings: Exhaust fans (6,000–12,000 CFM) , air inlets, evaporative cooling pads (optional).

  • Working Principle
    One fan every 15–20m of aisle for proper airflow.
    Fans draw warm air out, inlets bring fresh air in.
    Cooling pads can lower house temperature in hot climates, protecting birds from heat stress.

(5) Egg Nest

layer slatted floor system (11)

layer slatted floor system (6)

Egg Collecting End Device


  • Fittings: Integrated egg nests mounted on slatted floor sections, plastic or galvanized nest boxes, soft nest mats (plastic or artificial turf), sloped nest floor (7–9°), egg collection tray or egg belt, nest curtains, anti-perching devices.

  • Nest ratio: 1 nest / 4–5 layers

  • Nest width: 30–35 cm per compartment

  • Nest height from slatted floor: 45–60 cm

  • Working Principle:

  • The egg nest is installed above the slatted floor (manure-dropping boards) so that manure falls through the slats, keeping the nest area clean and dry.

  • Hens are attracted to the nest by the enclosed, dim environment and soft mats, which helps reduce floor eggs.

  • The slightly sloped nest floor (7–9°) allows eggs to roll gently into the collection tray or onto the egg belt, minimizing egg breakage and contamination.

"Why Choose Layer Slatted Floor System"


5. Hygiene And Airflow Benefits

The raised layer slatted floor system allows natural airflow below the system, reducing ammonia and moisture levels. 

Eggs remain cleaner because droppings never touch the laying surface.

The layer slatted floor system works best when paired with smart farm management practices:

(1) Lighting Program: Start at 14 hours/day for pullets at 18 weeks, increase to 16–17 hours/day for stable laying.

(2) Feeding: Offer ~110 grams feed per hen daily, divided into 2–3 meals.

(3) Manure Handling: Remove waste at least weekly to reduce ammonia and fly breeding.

(4) Biosecurity: Separate entry points for feed delivery, egg collection, and manure disposal to minimize disease spread.

8. Who Should Choose The Modern Slatted Floor System?

(1) Small to large egg farms (500– over 20,000 hens).

(2) Farmers upgrading from deep litter to a cleaner layer slatted floor System.

(3) Projects in warm, humid regions needing better airflow.

(4) Businesses seeking long-term investment with reduced labor.
