There are many advantages to usingchicken cages to raise chickens. The most important ones are as follows:

1. The breeding density is large, saving houses and saving land. In the same ground and buildings, cages can raise 3 to 5 times more laying hens than flats. Moreover, chickens can be mechanized and automated usinglayer chicken cages, and labor efficiency is high.

2. High feed utilization rate. The chicken has a small amount of activity in the cage, consumes less energy, consumes less feed, and feeds are more expensive than flat. At the same time, because the trough is placed outside the cage, it is not easy to cause waste of waste.

3. Facilitate the prevention and control of the spread of disease. The laying hens are caged, the dust in the house is less, and the chicken body is not in contact with the feces, which reduces the chance of disease transmission. Moreover, due to the relatively fixed position of the chicken, the affected chicken is easily detected early through changes in feces and feed intake, so that measures can be taken early.

4. High egg production rate and clean eggshell. The environment such as temperature and humidity in the cage house is easy to control, which can provide a high-yield and stable living condition for the chickens. After the eggs are produced, they are not easily contaminated by feces, and the surface of the eggshell is relatively clean.

5. Use chicken cages to raise chickens, so it is easy to adopt feeding management measures, such as restricted feeding, flock observation, production records and chicken catching.

There are also some unfavorable aspects in using layer chicken cages to raise chickens, mainly in:

1. Equipment investment is more, there must be a reliable power supply.

2. To provide full-price compound feed, the technical requirements for feeding management are also high, such as improper feeding management, easy over-fertilization or nutritional deficiency, fatty liver syndrome, and caged chicken fatigue.
