Local Poultry Cage In Nigeria

Using of poultry cage is beneficial in a successful farming business because it helps in various ways.

  • Spread of disease. Raising poultry birds in cage reduce the spread of disease because the birds won’t feed on the same trough and also they can’t move around. this helps in decreasing the rate of disease occurrence.
  • Save space. they would be efficient space on the farm if the birds are kept in cages.
  • Easily handled. Lastly, these birds can be easily managed and handled by when they are in cages. they can be inspected, fed, and vaccinated easily.

These cage types are:

  • Brooding cage

brooding refers to care given to chicks as well as providing them with tender loving care (TLC). Brooding cages are used only to raise young chicks. For the chick’s tender care, the cage is created to meet the r requirement needed for brooding.

  • Grower cage

These cages are used to raise chicken that is grown but has not started laying. They are called “pullets”.the cages are provided with feed and water with proper ventilation which is very essential to their hygiene.

  • Layers cage

In addition, layers are producers of eggs we consume on daily basis mostly in some parts of Africa. their cages are more expensive than other poultry birds. they are provided with feed, water, egg nest, also proper ventilation. Constructing layers cage requires more expertise during creation.

This cages are well automated and comes in different size and models at an affordable price. The price ranges from N85,000 to N5,000,000 depending on the numbers of birds.

Chickens and other birds can be housed in the wooden cage.it mostly known and has been in existence compare to the battery cage. 

Most houses in Nigeria has wooden cage which they use and are doing well. They are provided with feed, water and are vaccinated against disease when the need arises. Proper ventilation is present but disease can spread from one bird to another because they feed and drink from the same feeder.
