Tanzania’s livestock industry has always been one of the country’s important economic pillars. In response to growing demand, farmers are increasingly adopting modern farming methods. This article will focus on battery cage systems in Tanzania and highlight five advantages it brings to chicken farms.

Advantages of battery cage system in Tanzania

1. Increase production

The battery cage system is an efficient chicken house management tool that maximizes chicken production efficiency. The breeding volume increased by 1.7 times. The multi-layer structure allows chickens to live in vertical stacks, thereby making full use of the vertical space. There are different choices of 3 tiers, 4 tiers, and 6 tiers, and the equipment is reasonably selected according to the breeding scale, which further improves the overall output and egg quality.

2. Provide a comfortable living environment

Compared with the traditional way of raising chickens, the battery cage system can provide a more comfortable living environment. Modern breeding equipment provides fully automatic feeding systems, drinking water systems, manure cleaning systems and egg collection systems. Each cage provides enough space for chickens to rest and forage. In addition, Retech’s unique environmental control system can also maintain appropriate temperature, humidity and ventilation in the chicken house, providing a healthy living environment for chickens.

3. Convenience of management and cleaning

The design of the battery cage system makes the management and cleaning of the chicken house more convenient. The structure of the cage makes it easier to observe and check the health of each chicken. At the same time, the internal structure of the chicken house makes cleaning easier, reducing the accumulation of manure and the spread of diseases in traditional farming methods.

4. Save space and resources

The multi-layer structure of the battery cage system greatly saves the space required in the chicken house. Compared with traditional ground farming, this system can greatly increase the density of chickens. We have A-type and H-type chicken cage designs, and more chickens can be raised in the same chicken house area. In addition, feed and water can be used more efficiently, saving breeding costs.

5. Reduce the risk of disease transmission

Battery cage systems reduce the risk of chickens being exposed to pathogenic bacteria and parasites. The chickens are all in independent cages, and each unit cage can hold 3-4 chickens, greatly reducing direct contact between chickens. In addition, clean chicken houses and strict implementation of disinfection measures can effectively reduce the risk of disease transmission and improve the overall health of the flock.

Battery cage systems play an important role in Tanzania’s farming industry. This farming system brings considerable advantages to farmers by increasing yields, providing a comfortable living environment, improving ease of management and cleaning, saving space and resources, and reducing the risk of disease transmission.

Retech Farming as the leader in poultry raising equipment in China,  is committed to making poultry farming easier. Advanced breeding concepts and high-quality services allow farmers to understand and adopt this modern breeding method.
