One is ground flat cultivation, that is, laying a layer of soft padding such as rice husk on the ground of poultry house and cultivating broiler chickens on the padding; The other is on-line flat plate support. In this way, raising broilers on the net bed reduces the chance of direct contact between broilers and feces and pollutants, and greatly reduces the incidence rate.

In recent years, a more advanced broiler breeding mode-broiler cage breeding is quietly emerging. What are the advantages of keeping broilers in cages?
The advantages of keeping broilers in cages are as follows:
1, high degree of automation: automatic feeding, drinking water, defecation cleaning and wet curtain cooling, centralized management, automatic control, energy saving, labor cost reduction, greatly improving the breeding efficiency of farmers.
2. Chickens have good epidemic prevention, which can effectively prevent infectious diseases: chickens can thrive without touching feces, provide a clean and warm growth environment for chickens, and the chickens are healthy and balanced.
3. Compared with flat planting, the stocking density is increased by more than 3 times, which improves the utilization rate of house surface area and saves land;

4. Save feed: broiler cages improve growth rate and feed conversion rate. When chickens are kept in cages, the amount of exercise, energy consumption and waste are reduced. Experiments show that cage culture can effectively save the culture cost by more than 25%. Generally, the feed/meat ratio of net-raised or flat-raised chickens is between1.75 ~1.8:1,while the feed/meat ratio of cage-raised chickens is between 1.6 1: 1, and the highest is/kloc-0.
5, reduce the cost of drugs, and effectively control the occurrence of diseases at the same time, because chickens do not contact feces, and adopt a closed enclosure, which is isolated from the outside world, thus reducing the spread of diseases; Comfortable indoor environment is also suitable for the healthy growth of chickens.
6, save time: it is convenient for breeding users to manage livestock and poultry, saving more time to deal with other things; Adopting fully enclosed and automatic breeding mode, two people can manage a henhouse with 30,000-40,000 chickens, which is very labor-saving.

In addition, plane farming or online farming only requires a group of chickens to clean their feces once, which will leave a lot of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the henhouse, which is also the main reason for the disease of chickens. Caged broilers use conveyor belts to clean feces at any time to improve the air quality of chicken houses.

So overall, the advantages of cage culture are becoming more and more obvious. In the previous mode of land and net breeding, the profit of broiler breeding is getting less and less. In order to further improve the scale and land utilization rate and improve the breeding efficiency through scale effect, many large-scale breeding households or groups with funds, even small-scale farmers, have changed chicken houses into cages.
