The small stacking equipment for laying hens usually consists of a cage body, a cage door, a conveying and feeding system, a manure cleaning system, and an automatic egg collection system. The following is a detailed introduction to each part:
- Cage main body: The main body has various specifications and can be selected according to the actual situation of the user. The chicken cage bottom net requires moderate strength and elasticity, and a reasonable egg rolling angle to meet the technical requirements of comfortable walking for chickens, smooth rolling of eggs, low egg breaking rate, and low dirty egg rate.
- Cage door: generally adopts a horizontal sliding door design, which is easy to open and can prevent chickens from running away.
- Conveying and feeding system: The feeding carriage is operated by remote control or buttons, and stops automatically when it reaches the end of each row of cages. During operation, the hoppers on each level of the train will correspond to each feed trough, and the feed will evenly fall on the feed trough for the chickens to eat freely.
- Manure cleaning system: There is a longitudinal manure cleaning belt under each layer of chicken cages. Under the action of longitudinal flowing air, most of the moisture in the chicken manure can be taken out of the house, greatly reducing the moisture content of the chicken manure. Clear out the house through the control system.
- Automatic egg collection system: It is an important part of the stacked layer cage equipment. When the eggs are collected at the front end, in order to achieve the best results in the egg collecting and conveying process, the system is equipped with a soft egg removal device, which can remove soft and broken eggs before the eggs enter the egg collecting machine. It can greatly save manpower and reduce the egg breaking rate.
