Ensuring chicken welfare is not only an ethical responsibility but also an important aspect of sustainable poultry farming.
The so-called animal welfare of chickens means that chicken animals can live free, healthy and comfortable lives, be well fed, fully express their nature, and avoid pain and fear. The concept of animal welfare originated in the United Kingdom and has become popular around the world in recent years.
Studies have shown that free-range breeding of laying hens allows the natural behavior of the chickens to be released. This type of farming is much more nutritious than eggs produced in crowded cages. In current chicken farming, laying hens account for the vast majority. Therefore, it is very important to promote chicken welfare in poultry farming and design laying hen cages that consider the welfare of chickens.
The improvement of the welfare level of laying hens can not only satisfy the welfare level of laying hens themselves, but also improve the production performance of laying hens, such as improving the quality of eggs and chicken. Not only does this protect the animal welfare of the chickens, but the ultimate beneficiary is the egg consumer, humans themselves. This win-win situation is the best picture we all want to see.
One of the key factors in promoting chicken welfare is the design of the chicken house, specifically the chicken coop. Well-designed cages provide chickens with a comfortable, safe environment where they can express natural behaviors and thrive.
Before designing a chicken coop that prioritizes the welfare of these birds, we need to meet the welfare needs of the chickens in terms of space, comfort, cleanliness and social interaction. Therefore, when designing a chicken cage, the following factors should be considered to meet the welfare needs of the birds:
Provide each chicken with enough space to allow for natural movement and behavior. Consider stocking density to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to stress and aggression.
Henan Xinfeng Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. provides a cage size guide. The usual size is 1950mm*450mm*410mm, which can accommodate 20 hens, ensuring that the chickens have enough space to move, spread their wings and other natural behaviors.
Henan Xinfeng Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. supports your customization needs, and the size of the chicken cage can be customized according to your actual needs. In addition, if you have design needs for chicken coop construction, you can also contact us.
Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain optimal air quality and regulate temperature and humidity levels. Xinfeng A-type chicken cages have a large open area on each floor and are well ventilated, which can accelerate air circulation and reduce the risk of disease for caged chickens. The A-type chicken coop has better lighting and can use natural light for daily operations in the chicken house.
Install fans, vents, and insulation to prevent heat stress in hot weather and airflow in cold weather.
Design nest box laying areas with privacy and security to encourage hens to lay eggs in designated areas.
Our cage nets are all made of 275g/sm zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy cage frame, and the cage frame is fixed with 304 stainless steel screws. Good stability, no need for welding, no solder joints, strong and durable.
Use materials that are durable, hygienic, resistant to corrosion and degradation. Galvanized chicken cages are made of steel mesh coated with a layer of zinc. This process creates a protective barrier against environmental factors, especially moisture and corrosive substances. Galvanizing not only extends the life of the cage, but also helps maintain a hygienic environment for the chickens.
Xinfeng galvanized chicken cages are made of 2~3mm zinc layer steel wire mesh. This layer of zinc can add an anti-corrosion protective barrier to the main body of the chicken cage. Because it is particularly resistant to the intrusion of moisture and corrosive substances. Galvanizing not only extends the life of the cage, but also helps maintain a hygienic environment for the chickens.
