Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a population of about 200 million. It has great development potential and will be the development point of laying hens in Africa in the next 30 years. Nigeria’s climate and environment are very suitable for the development of poultry farming! The local population is large, and the demand for eggs has also begun to increase. As local residents become more and more fond of fresh eggs, the consumption will gradually increase. In order to increase egg production, more and more Nigerian chicken farmers have begun to use battery type chicken breeding cage to raise chickens.
Description of battery type chicken breeding cages
Battery type chicken breeding cages can also be named battery poultry cages. Battery poultry cages are usually used on farms that practice large scale farming. It can be used to raise different kinds of animals, but the most common use is for laying hens. The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected, in a unit, as in an artillery battery.
Battery poultry cages for laying hens can always be divided into A type layer cage and H type layer cage.They can usually design multiple layers, A type cages can be designed with 3-5 tiers, and H type cages can be designed with 3-8 tiers. That is to say,regardless of the type of poultry battery cage, its purpose and function are the same. They are all to use the vertical space as much as possible to increase the amount of breeding.At the same time, it is equipped with different automatic breeding equipment to improve the automation of the chicken farm, thereby saving manpower and promoting production.
Why choose battery type chicken breeding cages in Nigeria
The following factors should be the reason why most chicken farmers choose to use battery cages in Nigeria.
1. Egg production. Commercial egg production in chicken farms is much higher due to the restricted movement of layer hens in the cage. At the same time, the hens are restricted from absorbing more food material, which turns into more frequent egg production. This is in contrast to results obtained from floor rearing or other open space rearing systems.
2. Reduce feed waste. In poultry battery cage systems, feed waste is minimized as there is no direct contact with the terrarium. Moreover, less exercise after the chicken eats the feed will increase the feed conversion rate. In addition, egg losses from hens due to egg breakage are also reduced to zero due to no direct contact with the egg carrier.
3. Counting of the chicken farm. Counting caged layer hens is much easier than other poultry farming methods. Even with 10,000 chickens in a battery cage, the owner can easily count his flocks.This will make the management of the chicken farm more convenient.
4. Chicken manure removal function. It is easier to remove feed waste and chicken manure with battery cages. Chicken feed and chicken manure in a flat environment will get everywhere. On the contrary, when using battery cages for farming, chicken manure and dropped chicken feed will be piled up under the chicken cages, which is easy to clean.
