Why Choose Vanke A Type Automatic Layer Battery Cages?
Vanke's Design:
1. Optimized ventilation and manure removal design helps reduce heat stress and ammonia levels under Nigeria’s high-temperature and high-humidity climate.
→ Improves laying performance and bird health stability.
2. A-Frame vertical structure to maximize poultry house capacity, especially suitable for Nigeria farms where land cost is rising around major poultry areas such as Ogun, Oyo, and Lagos States.
→ In a standard 50–80 m long poultry house, capacity can reach 20,000–30,000 layers.
3. Scientific cage slope (7–8°) ensures smooth egg rolling and reduces egg breakage.
→ Egg breakage rate can be controlled below 2%, which is critical for Nigeria’s egg wholesale and open-market transportation conditions.

7 Detailed Advantages Of Battery Cage System
1. Significant Labor Cost Reduction (50–70%)
By integrating automatic feeding, drinking, manure removal, and egg collection systems, the fully automatic A type layer cage dramatically reduces manual operations.
Labor requirement reduced by 50–70%
One worker can manage 20,000–30,000 laying hens
This advantage is especially critical in regions facing rising labor costs and labor shortages.
2. Higher Stocking Density And Space Utilization (Up To 3 Times)
The A-frame vertical structure allows full use of poultry house height.
Stocking density: 18–25 layers per square meter
Floor raising systems: 6–8 layers per square meter
Space utilization improved by 2.5–3 times
As a result, farmers can either raise more birds in the same building or reduce construction costs for new poultry houses.
3. Improved Egg Production Performance (5–8% Increase)
Standardized cage environment and precise feeding significantly improve laying performance.
Egg laying rate increases by 5–8%
Annual egg production: 280–320 eggs per hen
Egg size uniformity improved by 10–15%
Stable nutrition intake and reduced stress help hens maintain peak production for a longer period.
4. Better Feed Conversion And Lower Feed Waste (3–5%)
Automatic feeding systems ensure uniform feed distribution.
Feed conversion ratio improves by 3–5%
Feed waste reduced by 10–15%
Annual feed cost savings: USD 8,000–15,000 for a 20,000-layer farm
Since feed accounts for 60–70% of total production cost, even small improvements bring significant economic benefits.
5. Lower Egg Breakage Rate And Better Egg Quality
The scientifically designed cage bottom slope and gentle egg belt transportation protect eggs during collection.
Egg breakage rate controlled below 1.5%
Manual collection systems typically: 3–5%
Clean egg rate increased by 15–20%
This directly increases the percentage of marketable eggs and improves selling price.
6. Improved Poultry House Environment And Biosecurity
Automatic manure removal reduces waste accumulation and harmful gases.
Manure removal frequency: 1–2 times per day
Ammonia concentration reduced by 40–60%
Disease incidence reduced by 20–30%
A cleaner environment leads to lower mortality rates and reduced veterinary expenses.
7. Long Service Life And Low Maintenance Cost
High-quality materials ensure long-term durability.
Hot-dip galvanized steel coating: ≥275 g/m²
Service life: 15–20 years
Annual maintenance cost reduced by 20–30% compared with ordinary cages
Modular accessories allow easy replacement without stopping the entire system.

10 Essential Maintenance Tips For Layer Battery Cage System
1. Cage Frame Inspection
Action: Check all cage frames, partitions, and wire mesh for corrosion, deformation, or loose bolts.
Frequency: Every 3–6 months.
Tip: Re-tighten loose bolts, replace damaged mesh, and apply anti-rust coating to maintain structural stability.
2. Feed System Cleaning And Lubrication
Action: Clean feed hoppers, augers, and chain conveyors to prevent blockages and bacterial growth. Lubricate motors and moving parts.
Frequency: Cleaning monthly; lubrication every 2–3 months.
Tip: Avoid contaminating feed channels with excess lubricant.
3. Nipple Drinking System Maintenance
Action: Inspect water pipelines, check water pressure, and clean nipple drinkers.
Frequency: Weekly visual check; deep cleaning every 1–2 months.
Tip: Maintain flow at 60–80 ml/min per nipple and ensure no leaks or clogging.
4. Egg Belt And Collection System Check
Action: Check egg belts, rollers, tension devices, and egg collection tables for wear or misalignment. Remove debris.
Frequency: Daily visual inspection; monthly full check.
Tip: Adjust belt tension to prevent egg breakage and ensure smooth egg transport.
5. Manure Belt And Scraper System Maintenance
Action: Inspect manure belts, scrapers, and transverse conveyors for wear, tear, or motor problems.
Frequency: Daily quick check; monthly detailed inspection.
Tip: Keep belts dry and free from obstruction to maintain hygiene and reduce ammonia concentration.
6. Motor And Drive System Check
Action: Inspect all motors, gearboxes, chains, and reducers for unusual noise, vibration, or overheating.
Frequency: Monthly; after any abnormal operation.
Tip: Ensure proper lubrication and tighten motor mounting bolts to prevent mechanical failure.
7. Control Panel And Electrical Components
Action: Inspect control panels, wiring, switches, and sensors for damage or corrosion. Ensure proper grounding and protection.
Frequency: Quarterly visual inspection; immediately if system alarms occur.
Tip: Keep control panels dry and dust-free; replace faulty sensors promptly to avoid system downtime.
8. Cage Floor And Mesh Cleaning
Action: Remove dirt, feathers, and debris from cage floors and mesh to prevent bacterial growth and maintain hen health.
Frequency: Weekly; more often during peak production or high humidity seasons.
Tip: Use mild disinfectant to prevent chemical residue while maintaining hygiene.
9. Lighting And Ventilation System Check
Action: Ensure lights are functioning and evenly distributed. Inspect fans, vents, and air inlets for blockages or wear.
Frequency: Monthly; weekly visual check recommended.
Tip: Proper lighting and airflow maintain laying performance and prevent heat stress.
10. Routine System Test And Calibration
Action: Run full system tests for feeding, drinking, manure removal, and egg collection. Adjust timers, sensors, and belt speeds as necessary.
Frequency: Every 3 months or after major maintenance.
Tip: Keep a log of system performance metrics to track efficiency, egg breakage rates, and feed consumption.
