What is breeding cage
Breeding cage is a kind of specialized cage, which is mainly used to raise male and female chickens together according to a certain ratio, and replace artificial insemination through natural mating.
This model makes use of the physiological habits of chickens, such as feeding, drinking, mating and roosting, and organically combines breeder mating with poultry facilities breeding technology to realize automation of feeding, drinking, environmental control (ventilation, lighting, temperature and humidity, etc.), manure cleaning, egg collection and other production processes.
The design of the cage is to improve the efficiency of breeding, reduce labor intensity, and the spread of disease. It is divided into single-layer and multi-layer cages. Multi-layer cages are commonly used in 3-8 layers, the ratio of male and female is 1:9. Male and female chickens should be combined at 13 weeks to 15 weeks of age. The cage should be kept in a dark light environment (illumination less than 5 lux).

Saving land and reducing investment
Breeding cage can save land resources and reduce investment in civil construction, with large feeding capacity per unit area, which is suitable for large-scale breeding.
Improving the degree of mechanization
Breeding cage can save land resources and reduce investment in civil construction, with large feeding capacity per unit area, which is suitable for large-scale breeding.
Energy savings and reduced Biosecurity Risks
Despite the high energy consumption of this cross-cage system, its high-density monolithic structure reduces biosecurity risks while improving energy efficiency.
Improve breeding efficiency
Breeding cage for sale can significantly improve the breeding efficiency of breeders, reduce labor intensity, and reduce the spread of diseases. Breeding efficiency can be increased by 3 to 5 times.
Improvement of chicken health
The chickens in the cage have been managed on a large scale as well as fed scientifically, and the chickens have shown good egg-laying and reproduction performance.
Core advantages
①No need for specialized equipment and complex technology ②Save semen processing and manual operation costs ③Consistent with the natural behavior of animals, reduce stress reaction
Advantages of FamTECH H Type Breeding Cage
FamTECH breed cage is durable and anti-corrision for its superior cage wire material and sophisticated processing.
The use of this breeding cage can significantly improve the bottom area and relative activity area of individual breeders’ cages, improve the production and reproductive performance of breeders, and maintain a high level of health.
Cage system
- Appropriate inclination degree of breeding cage makes sure of eggs’ smooth entrance to egg conveyor belt.
- No-roof design prevents injury during chicken mating.
- Spacious cage design provides enough space for hen to build nest and consequently improve the egg laying rate.
- Barrier with small holes between cells can effectively prevent mutual pecking and increase ventilation.
Feeding system
- Feeding system of breeding chicken cage runs automatically. The special designed hopper trolley can distribute feed evenly with lowest cost.
- The feeding method is traveling feeder, which adopts seamless connecting guide rail and trough to make the guide wheel run smoothly and noiselessly, meanwhile ensure the feeding evenly. The deeper trough ensures that no food is wasted while the chickens are feeding.
- The feeding system can meet the different feeding needs of roosters and hens. In the head and tail space, add the device of feeder back. The watering system with three adjustable water lines increases the breeder’s welfare and is more adaptable.
Drinking system
- The water supply line is set in the middle of the top of each layer of cages, and two nipples are set in each cage for the chickens on the left and right side of the cages to drink, and a V-shaped water trough is set under the nipples to catch the splash of the chickens when they drink, and then evaporate naturally. This way, the splash of water will not fall into the chicken manure, which makes the chicken manure drier.
- At the front end of each water line, there are filters, intelligent water meters, dosers and pressure regulators. Through the digital information of the smart water meter, you can know the daily water consumption of the chickens and judge the health status of the chickens.
Manure cleaning system
- The water supply line is set in the middle of the top of each layer of cages, and two nipples are set in each cage for the chickens on the left and right side of the cages to drink, and a V-shaped water trough is set under the nipples to catch the splash of the chickens when they drink, and then evaporate naturally. This way, the splash of water will not fall into the chicken manure, which makes the chicken manure drier.
- At the front end of each water line, there are filters, intelligent water meters, dosers and pressure regulators. Through the digital information of the smart water meter, you can know the daily water consumption of the chickens and judge the health status of the chickens.
Automatic egg collection system
The automatic egg collection and conveying system is a key component of stacked-layer egg-laying hen farming equipment, effectively reducing egg breakage rates and improving efficiency. Its design primarily addresses two issues:
Soft egg removal device
Before eggs enter the collection machine, soft and broken eggs are removed to prevent clogging during transportation, ensuring smooth movement of intact eggs.
Egg distributor installation
An egg distributor is installed at the junction between the collection machine and the central conveying line, allowing eggs to roll gently in an orderly manner to minimize collisions and reduce breakage risks.
This system significantly reduces labor requirements and greatly lowers egg breakage rates, enhancing overall egg production efficiency.
