What’s The Poultry Battery Cage Price In The Market?

The modern poultry farming industry has rarely adopted the traditional free-range mode. Most farmers choose to intensively raise poultry by using a variety of automatic poultry farming equipment. It not only expands the breeding scale and increases income, but also facilitates the management and realizes scientific breeding.

As a low-cost and high-quality breeding cage, the poultry battery cage has always been the first choice of farmers. It is combined with automatic farming equipment to form a poultry cage system, which enables large-scale, automatic, and standardized poultry farming to better meet the needs of the market.

There are various styles and models of poultry battery cages on the market. How to select a battery cage? And what’s the battery cage price?

How To Select A Battery Cage?

There are many types of poultry battery cages. According to different conditions, they can be subdivided into:

According to cage shape: A-type battery cages and H-type battery cages

According to cage height: 3 tiers, 4 tiers, 5 tiers, 6 tiers, 7 tiers, 8 tiers, and 9 tiers battery cages

According to application: table poultry battery cages, egg-laying poultry battery cages, brooding cages

According to cage structure: European-style battery cages, small-stacked battery cages, unilateral-style battery cages

How to purchase a battery cage that fits your need? You need to consider the following factors.

Breeding Amount

The breeding amount refers to your poultry farming business scale. If you are small-scale poultry farming with less than 20,000 birds, the A-type battery cage is a good choice. It features a low price and can meet the need for automatic and intensive breeding. If you need large-scale poultry farming with more than 20000 birds, the H-type battery cage is very suitable. It can be designed into 3-9 tiers. Complete automation and low costs in the later stage are the biggest advantages.

Poultry House Size

Poultry house is the foundation of poultry farming, which can be generally divided into open type, semi-open type, and closed type. If you have an existing poultry house, you should select the battery cage with an appropriate size according to the breeding amount and the poultry house size, meanwhile, reserve space for the placement of farming equipment and workers to pass through. If not, you can purchase the cage from a trustworthy supplier and get design drawings, on the basis, build the poultry house.

Poultry Type

There are many types of poultry. They have different sizes, weights, and habits. Because the battery cage capacity and function are closely related to the size and weight of poultry and the breeding purpose, determining the poultry type you want to raise is a prerequisite for purchasing a satisfactory battery cage system. For example, the structure and accessories of the chick cage are completely different from the quail cage. This will directly affect the breeding effect and income. Therefore, breeders must do some learning and consult before purchasing the cage.

Fund

Funds will directly determine your business scale and the selection of farming equipment. We’d better purchase poultry farming equipment according to our financial situation and tend to cost-effective battery cage systems. Generally speaking, the price of the A-type battery cage is much lower than that of the H-type battery cage, but it occupies a larger area and has a lower automation level. For small business scale, A-type cage is a good choice. If you have high requirements for automation, meanwhile owning a small poultry house and tight capital, small-stacked H-type battery cages are very suitable for you. It is an economical and fully automatic breeding cage for small-scale egg-laying poultry raising. In addition, the unilateral H-type battery cage is also an economical breeding cage, suitable for table poultry raising.

What’s The Battery Cage Price?

The prices of battery cages on the market range from tens to hundreds of dollars. For example, a set of A-type battery cages is about 80-100 US dollars. Sometimes, when breeders choose breeding cages, they find that the price of the same style cages is different, so what affects the price?

Generally speaking, there are two main factors: one is raw materials, and the other is labor costs.

• In most cases, the battery cage is made of steel. Fluctuations in steel prices are a major factor affecting cage prices. In addition, the steel used in battery cages can also be subdivided into cold galvanized steel and hot-dip galvanized steel. The hot-dip galvanized steel has strong corrosion resistance, long service life, and a nice appearance, but the price is high. Cold galvanized steel performs poorly in all aspects, the price is relatively cheap.

• The production process of the battery cage is complicated, and the labor cost required is relatively high. As labor costs rise, the cage price will also rise.

Of course, there are many other factors that affect the cage price, not just the above two points. Hope that farmers can choose skillfully according to their own situation when purchasing battery cages and other poultry farming equipment.
