Composition of the layer chicken cage equipment system

Nigeria's mechanized chicken industry has begun to mature and mature, and poultry farming equipment and related environmental control technologies have made progress. For example, nipple drinking equipment, automatic feeding equipment, wet curtain evaporation and cooling equipment, fans and vertical ventilation equipment.

The layer chicken rearing equipment is mainly composed of a cage system, a feeding system, a drinking water system, a lighting system, a waste disposal system, an automatic egg collecting system, and an environmental control system. The use of mechanized laying hen cage equipment allows for a rhythmic cycle of hatching, brooding, and the production of the last commercial chicken or commercial egg. Most of the houses are closed or semi-enclosed, with automatic adjustment equipment to control the microclimate and lighting in the house, so that the house can be produced in a balanced manner throughout the year, achieving high mechanization and automation. In this mechanized farming mode, the breeder can automatically complete the feeding, collecting eggs and removing feces of the chickens. And automatic ventilation, control of temperature and humidity in the house, light intensity time, spray disinfectant and add soluble drugs to drinking water.

In addition to manually picking up dead chickens, breeding insemination, daily quarantine and injection vaccination, all processes can be automated using the machine. In the broiler rearing equipment in the past two years, there have even appeared equipment and conveying equipment that can batch out the whole chicken house, which is a big breakthrough in the field of broiler feeding technology with short feeding period.

At present, the poultry breeding equipment in Nigeria is mainly imported. When farmers purchase poultry farming equipment, they must pay attention to the selection of high quality poultry equipment manufacturers.
