Now broiler are using broiler chick cage in poultry farm
Broilers as birds being reared for meat consumption for the sustenance livelihood of mankind can be reared in diverse ways which include: rearing ‘off the ground’ and ‘on the ground’ but our major focus here is the broiler reared ‘off the ground’ that is, in indoor-net systems on a single tier wired or plastic netting (usually 1x1 cm) supported by tensile steel and raised ~0.5m above the ground. One of the main motivations for using these systems is the low initial investment, due to very few infrastructures. Benefits of this system are mainly the separation of animals from their faeces, decreasing the risk of contact with pathogens such as coccidiosis, and the lower input costs of the system. In hot climates, there is also a perceived benefit of improving air flow and reducing heat stress, but this is usually associated with inadequate ventilation of the house. the cage meshs of broiler chick cage are designed for higher ventilation to reduce disease
The sheds may have natural light provision, but have little opportunity for enrichment provision, especially scratching and dustbathing substrate. There is potential to provide perches and hanging pecking substrates systems over the last 10 years, and a rise of broiler cages for the last 5 years
Broiler chick cage and container systems, as well as net systems, do not have the potential to provide what animals want and need, constraining their movement and unnecessarily limiting their be habitual expression. Systems should provide animals with a good quality of life, including good mental and physical well being as well as providing an opportunity to express natural behaviour. Our Multi-tier colony containers with a solid moveable belt floor: There are two main differences between this system and other cage systems. Firstly, the moveable belt on the floor of the cage is covered with litter, and secondly the system allows for egg hatching inside the container - hatching eggs are suspended in a tray above the belt, and as the chicks’ hatch they drop onto the litter belt below. During depopulation, the belt is used to remove the broilers from the containers directly onto a conveyor for transport.
The advantage of broiler chick cage
1. Flexible plastic mesh flooring or plastic mats (when available) - Mould to birds weight and activity and allows the manure to fall through
2. Separation from manure – May reduce foot pad dermatitis and breast blisters, mortality and need for antibiotics. Although according to research this can be a downfall as well (see below).
3. reduced stress during depopulation and loading for transport to slaughter - Can be fully automated and load up to 12,000 broilers per hour.
4. Reduced need for space – less land and resources needed, as well as bigger income per m2.
5. Reduced labour hours costs – Mainly on the cleaning, inspection, depopulation and loading for slaughter.
