Features & Benefits of Our Automated Broiler Cage Systems

Our intelligent broiler rearing systems are engineered for maximum efficiency, animal welfare, and long-term profitability. Designed with hot-dip galvanized steel frames and durable PVC flooring, these multi-tier cages allow birds to remain in place from day-old chick to market weight—eliminating the need for transfer, reducing stress, and streamlining operations.


🔧 Key System Features

1. Plastic Slatted Flooring
High-strength, non-abrasive PVC slats prevent footpad dermatitis and chest blisters, while offering excellent waste drainage and non-slip support.

2. 3–4 Tier Modular Design
Vertical stacking increases stocking density by up to 3× compared to floor rearing—ideal for land-limited or high-volume broiler farms.

3. Automated Feeding & Nipple Drinking
Precise feed and water delivery reduces waste, ensures uniform weight gain, and lowers FCR (feed conversion ratio).

4. Real-Time Manure Removal
Continuous belt-driven cleaning systems remove droppings from each level, maintaining a hygienic environment and healthy air quality.

5. Customizable Configuration
Flexible row spacing, tier height, and aisle width. Optional upgrades include wet curtain cooling systems and environmental sensors.


💡 Advantages for Your Broiler Operation

Full Automation
Central PLC control manages feeding, watering, manure cleaning, ventilation, and climate—reducing labor by over 60%.

Enhanced Biosecurity
Zero contact with waste drastically lowers coccidiosis, E. coli, and respiratory infection risks.

Space Optimization
Multi-tier design saves up to 50% of land area, enabling higher bird capacity without expanding footprint.

Feed Cost Savings
Less bird movement and controlled feed flow reduce feed waste by over 25%, improving cost-efficiency.

Long-Term Durability
Corrosion-resistant 275 g/m² hot-dip galvanized steel ensures 15–20 years of field service with minimal maintenance.


📈 Scalable for Farms from 10,000 to 1,000,000+ Birds

Whether you’re upgrading from floor rearing or building a greenfield commercial broiler facility, our automated broiler cage systems deliver fast ROI, low mortality, and top performance.
