The batter cages or layer cages are the latest trends amongst the more serious Kenyan farmers and these are advantageous for a variety of reasons. Look at some of the reasons on why you should take your poultry farming in Kenya to the next level by investing in the battery cages or layer cages in Kenya:-
- Maximize on space. A unit of the layer cages sold in Kenya measures only 8ft by 7 ft and that is enough to carry 128 birds!
- Reduce diseases/infections: With installations such as the automatic drinking nipples, there is less contamination of the drinking water and this reduces diseases such as coccidiosis which normally kill lots of birds. This also means there is reduced cost of drugs for your poultry.
- Less pilferage or shrinkage:- There is less loss of both your eggs and chicken in the system through employee theft.
- Less Labor Costs: less time and costs will be spent on labor since the chicken cages are DIY. This means more savings for you and less operational costs.
- Zero wastage: The layer cages have better feed management systems so there is no spillage of feed and the farmer can thus realize better savings and higher profit margins.
- High production:- The chickens have higher production rates in the cages as opposed to the deep litter system.
- Have cleaner eggs with zero breakages:- The chickens do not come into contact with eggs so the eggs are very clean and there is no breakage.
- There is no cannibalism:- You don’t have to worry about losses due to deaths as the cages prevent them from pecking each other.
This is one of the most efficient production techniques which allows you to save time and maximize on your produce.
