1. Chicken cage is the main equipment for cage chicken houses.

(1) Chicken battery cages: cage brooding, generally adopting 3 to 4 layers of overlapping cages. The total height of the cage is about 1.7 meters, the height of the cage is 10-15 cm, the cage length of each single cage is 70-100 cm, the cage height is 30-40 cm, and the cage depth is 40-50 cm. The mesh is generally rectangular or square, the bottom mesh aperture is 1.25 cm x 1.25 cm, and the aperture of the side net and the top net is 2.5 x 2.5 cm. The cage door is located at the front, and the gap between the cage doors can be adjusted to 2 to 3 cm. Each cage can accommodate about 30 chicks.

(2) Breeding chicken cages: The combined form uses three layers of overlapping type, with an overall width of 1.6 to 1.7 meters and a height of 1.7 to 1.8 meters. The single cage is 80 cm long, 40 cm high and 42 cm deep. The bottom mesh of the cage is 4 cm x 2 cm, and the remaining meshes are 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm. The size of the cage door is 14 cm × 15 cm, and each single cage can accommodate 7 to 15 chickens.

(3) Egg cage: The common forms are stepped, semi-stepped and overlapping. Each single cage is 40 cm long, 45 cm deep, 45 cm high at the front, 38 cm high at the back, and 6° at the bottom of the cage. ~8°. The egg collecting trough extending out of the cage is 12 to 16 cm. The front of the cage door is open, 21 to 24 cm wide; 40 cm high; the lower edge leaves a gap of 4.5 cm from the bottom net. The cage bottom mesh has a hole spacing of 2.2 cm and a weft pitch of 6 cm. The pore size range of the top, side and back nets varies greatly. Generally, the mesh spacing is 10-20 cm, the weft spacing is 2.5-3 cm, and each single cage can raise 3~4 chickens.

2. The poultry feeding equipment includes a feeding machine and a trough. The feeding system of the large chicken farm is mechanized, and the feeding machinery is equipped with a trough.

(1) Chain feeder: It is the most commonly used feeder in China's feeding machinery. It can be used in both flat and cage. It consists of a bin, a link, a drive, a corner wheel, a long trough, and some, and some are equipped with a feed cleaner.

(2) Plug-type feeder: It is designed for dry chicken houses and is suitable for conveying dry powder full-price feed. The 9WS--35 plug-in feeder consists of transmission parts, material boxes, troughs, conveying parts, corners, brackets and other components.

(3) Trough: Commonly used long troughs and bucket-shaped round troughs.

3. Drinking water equipment

(1) Trough type drinking fountain: the depth is 50-60 mm, and the upper mouth is 50 mm wide. There are "V" shaped and "U" shaped sinks. The sinks in the flat chicken house are generally 3 to 5 meters long, and the length of the sink occupied by each chicken is generally 1 to 1.6 cm in the middle chick and 3.6 cm in the breeding chicken.

(2) Tower-shaped vacuum drinker; consisting of two parts: a drum and a water tray, which can be made of galvanized iron and plastic. This type of drinker is suitable for flat chicks.

(3) Nipple type drinking fountain: made of steel or stainless steel, consisting of threaded steel (copper) tube and thimble switch valve, can be directly installed on the water pipe, using gravity and capillary action to control water droplets, making the thimble end often Hang a drop of water. When the chicken needs water, the thimble is touched, and the water flows out; after drinking, the thimble valve seals the waterway and no longer flows out. There are two types of nipple drinkers: chicken and chicken. Each drinker can be used for 10 to 20 chicks or 3 to 5 chickens. The nipple drinker can be used for both flat and cage.
