Broiler Breeders in battery cages

Forum: Performance of Broiler Breeders in battery cages

Published: March 20, 2012

Hi Everyone

I am working for a company which is planning to construct a new broiler breeding farm. We already have a broiler breeding farm and we have been using California type cage system (Open house) successfully for the past 10 years. In our research, we have found that battery cages (EC system) are being used for broiler breeders. Now, we are confused whether we need to move to the new system or use the regular California cages.

I hope someone can throw more light into this topic. We are more concerned over the performance of the broiler breeders in battery cages.

Regards,
Krishna
