“A-Type” Layer Battery Cage System
Recommended capacity: about 3,000–20,000 layers.
Designed with a single-sided sloping steel frame structure, each cage layer tilts outward, allowing eggs to roll down automatically for collection.
It is suitable for naturally ventilated or semi-enclosed poultry houses.
“H-Type” Layer Battery Cage System
Recommended capacity: about 10,000–100,000 layers/house.
Built with a double-sided vertical steel frame (H-shaped) structure, with a central feeding aisle between two cage rows. The system is fully enclosed, compatible with automatic ventilation and climate control.
It is suitable for large industrial-scale farms.

Practical Tips For Choosing Between A-Type And H-Type Layer Battery Cage Systems
1. Match The Battery Cage System To Farm Size And Capacity Goals
The A-Type battery cage is ideal for farms with below 30,000 layers due to lower cost and easy setup.
The H-Type battery cage suits 40,000–150,000+ layers, offering 60–200% higher density in the same building area.2. Compare Land Use And Building Efficiency
H-Type battery cages save up to 40% floor space through vertical stacking (e.g., 65 m × 9 m for 20,000 layers).
A-Type cages require wider houses (around 75 m × 12 m for similar capacity).3. Balance Investment And Labor Cost
H-Type battery cage systems cost about 1.6–2 times more initially, 1 workers manage 30,000 birds..
A-Type systems have lower investment but need 2–3 workers per 10,000 birds for daily management.
