Product Description:
The H-type layer cage is a fully automated, multi-tiered system
designed for high-density farming while maximizing space
utilization.
· Structure: The system consists of a central cage frame that
supports multiple groups of cages stacked vertically in an "H"
configuration. Each group typically includes two rows of cages set
back-to-back
· Capacity and Tiers: These systems are highly customizable,
commonly available in 4 to 8 tiers . The capacity per cage set
varies, with common models holding 72, 90, 112, 140 birds
· Space per Bird: The area provided per chicken is typically around
450 cm² or 400 cm² .
Features:
Automatic Feeding System Ensures chickens receive proper nutrition
consistently. Reduces labor, ensures consistent feeding.
Automatic Drinking System Provides constant clean water, often
nipple drinkers . Keeps birds hydrated, improves hygiene.
Automatic Manure Cleaning Removes waste from each tier. Maintains
hygiene, reduces disease risk and ammonia levels.
Automatic Egg Collection Gently collects eggs via an integrated
system. Minimizes labor, reduces egg breakages and damage.
Environmental Control Regulates temperature, humidity, and
ventilation. Creates optimal conditions for hen health and
productivity.
1.Manure System: The system is designed so that manure from upper
tiers drops into a pit or onto a conveyor belt without
contaminating the lower cages .
2.Egg Collection: Cages feature a slanted rolling egg net at the
bottom, which allows eggs to gently roll out to a collection tray
or conveyor for easy gathering .
3.Technical Specifications and Materials
The construction quality and materials are crucial for the system's
durability and performance.
Material: The cages are predominantly made from hot-dip
galvanized steel . This process provides a thick, durable coating
that is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, significantly
extending the equipment's lifespan, often to 15-20 years .
Typical Cage Size: Common overall dimensions for a set are around
650mm (length) * 1250mm (width) * 3300mm (height) . Individual cell
sizes are often around 650mm (length) * 625mm (width) * 500mm
(height) .

Advantages:
The H-type layer cage system offers several key benefits for
commercial egg production:
· Space Efficiency: It dramatically increases bird density per unit
area of land. One source notes it can save up to 40% more space
compared to older step-cell cage systems.
· Improved Productivity: Automated systems and a controlled
environment help reduce stress on the birds, leading to better feed
conversion rates and higher, more consistent egg production.
· Enhanced Bird Health and Safety: Automatic manure removal
minimizes contact with waste, lowering the risk of infection and
disease spread. The design of the cage nets also helps protect the
birds' feathers.
