Precautions for Using Stacked Battery Cages for Laying Hens

As society continues to evolve, farming practices are constantly being updated and improved. Today, tiered broiler‑layer cages have gained widespread acceptance among farmers. These cages occupy a small footprint, making efficient use of space, and allow for layered removal of manure, thereby reducing environmental pollution while also lowering labor costs.
However, since the broiler breeder tiered cage system is multi‑tiered, handling the birds can be somewhat inconvenient. Therefore, it’s advisable to extend the time required for placing the birds into the cages, administer all necessary vaccinations beforehand, and then transfer the birds to the broiler breeder tiered cage system. The electrical system of this cage setup should be equipped with a matching generator to ensure uniform lighting throughout the poultry house, and the light bulbs should be kept clean at all times to maintain consistent light intensity.
The conveyor system of the tiered broiler‑layer cage requires regular lubrication and timely cleaning of the egg‑conveying and manure‑conveying rollers to prevent debris buildup that could damage the manure‑conveying belt. Additionally, the ventilation system of this type of cage should be adjusted appropriately according to prevailing weather conditions.
When cleaning manure from a tiered broiler cage system, if only the drive roller is rotating while the manure conveyor remains stationary, it may be because excessive poultry manure has jammed the conveyor belt. Regular maintenance of the conveyor belt is required—tighten bolts and remove any foreign objects. If the manure on the conveyor is too thin, it could indicate a water leak or a leaking water trough; in such cases, the tiered broiler cage system should be inspected and repaired.
