A Type Galvanized Layer Chicken Cage System

Product Overview

The A type galvanized layer chicken cage system is a cost-effective, high-reliability housing solution engineered for small-to-medium scale farmers and commercial egg producers seeking low initial investment with stable performance. Featuring a robust A-frame stepped structure, cage units are arranged in tiered, pyramid-style rows from bottom to top – a classic design that allows manure to fall directly to the ground or dedicated manure pits, eliminating the need for expensive manure belt systems and making it ideal for open-sided, naturally ventilated poultry farms.  

Each cage row is constructed with heavy-duty hot-dip galvanized wire mesh, paired with continuous front feed troughs and reliable nipple drinking lines. Square water tanks (mounted on the side or top) deliver consistent, clean water to every nipple drinker, ensuring 100% water access for all birds. The open, bright structural design maximizes natural ventilation and light penetration, reducing heat stress by 30% in warm climates and boosting overall egg production by 4-6%.  

Key Features

• A-frame stepped pyramid structure: Exceptional stability, with unobstructed visibility of birds on every tier (no blind spots for health checks).  
• Full hot-dip galvanized construction (frame + cage mesh): Superior rust/corrosion resistance, service life of 12-15 years in high-humidity environments.  
• Ergonomic front feed troughs: Compatible with manual feeding or semi-automatic feeding carts, reducing feed waste by 12-15% vs. traditional open feeding methods.  
• Nipple drinking system with square water tanks: Precise water flow control (7-9ml/min per nipple), easy to clean and maintain, ensuring 24/7 clean water supply.  
• Optimized ventilation & light exposure: Open stepped design ideal for open-sided houses and warm climate regions (25-40°C), minimizing heat stress and respiratory issues.  
• Simplified manure handling: Droppings fall directly to ground/manure pit, removable via scraper or loader – no complex automation required, cutting manure management costs by 50%.  
• Tool-free modular assembly: Basic hand tools suffice for on-site installation; cage sections and frames can be assembled/disassembled for cleaning or relocation.

Application & Farm Layout

The A type layer cage system is widely deployed across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and other regions prioritizing natural ventilation and low-cost farming. It is the optimal choice for new poultry house construction and retrofitting old floor-rearing facilities – requiring minimal structural modifications to existing buildings.  

Cages are typically arranged in long rows (6–12m per row) with 0.7–1.0m service aisles between them, streamlining daily tasks like feeding, vaccination, egg collection, and health checks. The open stepped design enables unimpeded air flow between tiers and rows; when paired with side curtains and roof ventilation (e.g., wind catchers, exhaust fans), it maintains optimal temperature (20–28°C) and humidity (50–60%) for layers even in hot, arid climates.  

For farmers looking to start small and scale gradually, the A type system offers unmatched flexibility – additional cage rows can be added as the farm expands, without disrupting existing operations.  

Advantages for Your Poultry Business

1. Significantly lower initial investmentNo costly manure belt or fully automatic systems required – equipment costs are 30–40% lower than H-type cage systems. Farmers can enter commercial egg production with minimal capital while retaining the core benefits of cage rearing (higher density, better hygiene).
2. Intuitive bird observation & managementThe stepped layout lets workers see every bird clearly from the aisle, enabling quick detection of poor feed intake, illness, or reduced egg production. Vaccination, beak trimming, and culling are 2x faster than with floor rearing.
3. Higher stocking density & operational efficiencyStocking density reaches 40–50 birds/m² (2x that of floor rearing), maximizing use of available space. Centralized feed/water supply cuts waste by 15–20% and improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) to 2.0–2.2:1 (vs. 2.5–2.8:1 for floor rearing).
4. Superior ventilation & bird comfortOpen structure and low stacking height (3–4 tiers) ensure excellent air exchange, reducing respiratory diseases by 30% and heat stress-related mortality by 40% in warm regions.
5. Long service life with minimal maintenanceFull galvanization resists corrosion from manure and moisture. With regular cleaning (1–2x/month) and basic maintenance, the system operates for 12–15 years with no major repairs, lowering long-term replacement costs.

Packaging, Delivery & After-Sales Service

Packaging

The A type system is shipped in fully disassembled form to maximize container loading efficiency (saves 25% of shipping volume vs. pre-assembled units). All components – frame parts, cage meshes, troughs, drinkers, water tanks, and accessories – are bundled in waterproof packaging with clear labeling for easy identification during installation.  

Delivery

Flexible delivery options (sea/air/land) tailored to your location and timeline:  

• Standard models: 10–20 days lead time  
• Custom configurations: 20–35 days lead time

After-Sales Service

• Installation support: Detailed 2D/3D installation drawings, step-by-step video tutorials, and 24/7 online technical guidance from our engineers (available in English, Spanish, Arabic, and French). On-site installation training is optional (cost-based).  
• Customized farm planning: We calculate optimal cage quantity, row layout, and aisle spacing based on your land size, target bird count (100–50,000 birds), and local climate.  
• One-stop equipment solutions: We supply complementary poultry equipment (ventilation fans, cooling pads, feeding carts, egg collection baskets) to build a complete, turnkey layer farm.  
• Warranty: 1-year warranty for core components (frames, drinking systems); lifelong free technical advice.

If you need region-specific adjustments (e.g., material upgrades for coastal/high-salt environments, or language localization for marketing materials), we can refine the content to align with your target market.
