In recent years, in order to increase the amount of broiler breeding at home and abroad, many cage tests have been carried out, mainly to lay a plastic mesh mat on the bottom of the cage or to use a plastic-coated wire mesh bottom to cushion the compression of the chicken breast. Although it is still not perfect, it is not yet in production. It is popular, but because land prices are becoming more and more expensive, it is an inevitable trend for broiler development to improve the production of broilers.
1. Cage broiler chickens can increase the stocking density and improve land utilization.
2. Feed broiler chickens in broiler battery cages with high feed utilization and reduced feed costs. Mainly because cage broilers have a small range of activities and flock activities are limited. Reduced exercise consumption, which increases the ratio of feed to meat.
3. It can be released 2 days in advance, and the shortening of the feeding cycle is mainly because the cage broiler has a small range of activity, consumes less energy, and has a relatively fast growth rate.
4. Reduce the incidence of disease and reduce the cost of drugs. Because caged broilers are isolated from the ground and feces, it can effectively control the occurrence of intestinal diseases such as coccidiosis. Without litter, it eliminates the breeding environment of bacteria and microorganisms and reduces the possibility of various diseases. The daily accumulation of feces reduces the content of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the air of the house, improves the sanitary environment of the house, reduces the harmful stimulation of harmful air to the respiratory mucosa, and reduces the incidence of respiratory diseases.
5. Improve the survival rate of broilers and increase the income of farming mainly because:
1) The range of activities of caged broilers is in the cage, which reduces the death caused by the extrusion of activities such as feeding and drinking.
2) The incidence of caged broilers is low and the mortality rate naturally decreases.
3) The caged broiler has a short feeding period of 2 days, which also reduces the probability of death.
