Battery cage for layers — solving 4 major problems in poultry farming
Afraid of the chicken stepping on the egg? — Zero-damage egg solution
Anti-slip egg grid + 3° golden cage bottom slope, edge anti-drop design, eggs roll smoothly without collision, egg breakage rate as low as 0.8%, no need to worry about loss costs anymore. Assuming the wholesale price of eggs at $1 per kilogram, an additional 460 good eggs per day will bring in an extra $390.
Is cleaning feces too tiring? Clear 10 cages in 1 minute without bending over
The detachable and withdrawable manure cleaning trough with seamless cage bottom ensures that manure does not accumulate or stick together, increasing the manure cleaning efficiency by 60%. Three people can easily manage 10,000 chickens, saying goodbye to the hardship of bending over and straining, and saving about 425 US dollars in labor costs each month.
Are chickens prone to illness? Ammonia levels drop by 25%, saving on medication costs
The ventilation channels inside the cages have been optimized, reducing the ammonia concentration by 25% directly. This has significantly decreased respiratory diseases, saving $113 in monthly medication costs and ensuring the health of the chicken flock and stable egg production.
Space waste? — Customized layout, with an additional 3 animals per square meter
Support customized cage layout according to the size of the shed, optimize the breeding density, and raise 3 more chickens per square meter, increasing the unit area income by 20%. Even small sheds can achieve high production capacity.
Why do you need FamTECH’s battery cage for layers
Double-layer Hot-dip Galvanizing + 2.0mm Thickening: No Cage Replacement for 10-20 Years
Adopting Q235 material + double-layer hot-dip galvanizing process, all welds are fully sealed. It withstands 600 hours of corrosion resistance in salt spray tests, with no rusting even in rainy or sunny conditions.
It has a 5-year longer service life than ordinary cages, comparing with the cost of ordinary chicken cages on the market, it has a significant long-term cost-effectiveness advantage.
Stress Reduction Design: Egg Production Rate Steadily Increases by 8%
The cage mesh aperture is precisely 2cm, and the cage body with rounded corners has no sharp edges, preventing chicken feet from getting stuck, feathers from tangling, and no scratches.
The chicken flock remains calm with less pecking and fighting, and less stress response, leading to a steady 8% increase in egg production rate. Based on a wholesale price of approximately 1,700 more in monthly revenue.
Stage-customized Cage Positions: No Cage Replacement from Brooding to Laying
Rejecting “one-size-fits-all” design, the cage height and spacing are customized according to different growth stages of laying hens. It is fully adaptable from the brooding stage to the laying stage, saving troubles and avoiding repeated investment costs.
Modular Installation: 2 People Install 500 Cage Positions in 1 Day
No professional workers are required. With the modular splicing design, 2 people can complete the installation of 500 cage positions in one day. This does not delay the time for introducing chickens and also saves a sum of installation fees.
