Features of the design of cages for broiler chickens
The consumption of poultry meat (mostly chicken) is increasing annually not only in our country, but throughout the world. This is due to several factors at once, which should be attributed:
- The dietary component of this product (practically no cholesterol and fats).
- Affordable cost for many consumers (much cheaper than animal meat).
- Simplicity of preparation and at the same time variety of dishes.
That is why many farmers began to increase their livestock or master modern cultivation technology, which uses broiler cages . They make it possible to put this poultry industry practically on stream and significantly increase the profit of the farm.
Common sizes and proportions
The main condition for the rapid growth (weight gain) of the chick in cage conditions is not only an abundant feed component. To it should be added:
- Free access to drinker and feeder.
- Adequate roominess.
- Sanitary conditions.
This is achieved by using a metal mesh as the frontal (front) wall of the cage and the floor (for spontaneous dropping). Side panels and top cover can be made of plywood or aluminum sheet. A drinker and a feeder are installed along the entire length of the front part of the cage for free simultaneous access to them for all chickens simultaneously contained in it (usually from 4 to 10 heads, depending on size).
Factory-made cages are easily prefabricated structures made of metal mesh, which can be dismantled in a matter of minutes for rearrangement or disassembled storage.
