Poultry farming equipment is a special machine used by chicken farms in the production process of chicks, breeders, broilers and laying hens. Chicken farms can be divided into free-range and battery cages. Chicken raising equipment includes: layered chicken cage system, ventilation equipment, water supply equipment, feeding equipment, egg collection equipment, manure cleaning equipment, lighting equipment, etc.
- Battery cage system. There are mainly two types of A-type chicken cages or H-type chicken cages. Farmers mostly take 60-70 days of age and transfer them directly to laying hens. Laying hens are basically raised in cages. At present, there are many manufacturers producing chicken cages, which can be purchased according to the actual situation.
- Ventilation equipment. The closed chicken house must be mechanically ventilated. According to the direction of airflow in the house, it can be divided into two types: horizontal ventilation and vertical ventilation. Lateral ventilation means that the direction of airflow in the house is perpendicular to the long axis of the house, and longitudinal ventilation refers to a ventilation method in which a large number of fans are concentrated in one place, so that the air flow in the house is parallel to the long axis of the house.
- Water supply equipment. From the point of view of saving water and preventing bacterial contamination, nipple drinkers are the most ideal water supply equipment, and high-quality water-tight drinkers must be selected.
- Feeding equipment. The feeding trough is mainly used, and the caged chickens all use long through troughs. This feeding method can also be used when brooding flat, or the hanging bucket can be used for feeding. The shape of the feeding trough has a great influence on the throwing of the feed for the chickens. The feeding trough is too shallow and there is no edge protection, which will cause a lot of feed waste.
- Poultry Manure cleaning equipment. General chicken farms use manual manure removal on a regular basis, while larger chicken farms can use mechanical manure removal.
Creating a modern chicken farm requires not only modern chicken raising equipment, but also a modern farming concept.
