The continuous development of the chicken industry has now begun to use chicken cages to raise chickens, and is gradually approaching the road to mechanization and large-scale chicken raising. Generally, large and medium-sized farms have realized the use ofautomated poultry farming equipmentto raise chickens, but some small-scale farmers will feel that the cost of using chicken cages to raise chickens is too high, and they will lose money if they are not good. However, the high cost will have the reasons and advantages of high cost. The authors here will share with farmers the reasons for the high cost of using chicken cages for raising chickens.
1. The use of chicken cages for chickens is a multi-layer cage. Different from the previous practice of raising chickens on the ground, only the area of the ground can be used. Chicken cages can breed three, four or more layers of chickens, that is, in the same size of the chicken house, the chicken cage can raise more than three times the number of chickens. Not to mention other advantages, this is enough for farmers to get more effective than flat.
2. There are also farmers who are more worried about this. They think that their chicken house has more chickens, but they are too busy to hire labor to manage the chickens. The cost is not high. Actually, the chickens are raised. The chickens are kept in cages. The range of activities of the chickens is very small, so it is more convenient to manage in all aspects of feeding, drinking water, etc. How much manpower is needed for raising aquaculture even if so many are added. It will increase manpower, and qualified farmers will also purchase automated chicken equipment to assist in farming, automatically complete feeding, clearing and other work, and no need for human cost.
3. There is also the quality of the chicken cage equipment. Nowadays, chicken cage equipment made by high-quality poultry equipment manufacturers are made of high-quality steel, galvanized, and have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Under normal circumstances, chicken cage equipment can be used for 15-20 years. Farmers think that although the price of chicken cages for purchasing chicken equipment is high, how much benefit can be brought about by using it for more than ten years. The equipment is not used once and can not be used, recycling, the price of the chicken cage is still high, spending one time can enjoy the benefits of more than ten years.
4. When using chicken cages to raise chickens, keeping the chickens in cages can save a lot of other farming costs. For example, raising costs, because the chickens are kept in cages, the range of activities is small, the physical energy consumption is slow, and the required feed is also reduced. Some farmers calculate that cages can save about 20% of feeding. Moreover, chicken cages do not directly contact the feces, which can reduce the disease caused by fecal infection and save a part of the cost of treatment.
I believe that farmers know the advantages of usingpoultry battery cagesto raise chickens, and they will understand why the cost of raising chickens in chicken cages is high. Although the cost is increasing, the average cost is calculated, which is actually more economical than the flat raise, and can also follow the development of the chicken industry and keep up with the times.
