This, however, is more expensive compared to the solid floor system where birds have direct contact with the floor.
There is reduced contact with manure/droppings. Poultry droppings here pass through the openings to the floor. This is mostly done through the use of rods or similar materials. This creates a slotted platform that is suspended from the main floor. The litter system requires that adequate cross ventilation is made available. In the event that there is no ventilation, the resulting effects are much more pronounced on the health of the birds. Here, the droppings of birds accumulate over time, while continually stirring it to ensure that it mixes properly.Īlthough efficient in the reduction of the maintenance cost, the deep litter system has its downside as the attendant dust is in most cases responsible for respiratory diseases in poultry birds. The litter system of poultry farming is less expensive compared to the cage system of poultry farming. Here, litter consisting of sawdust or wood flakes is used among others. However, apart from the cage system, there is also the litter system used in commercial poultry farms. These include the single, the multiple and the colony bird cages. There are several types of poultry bird cages. A strong foundation is a key to meeting the optimal layout and design conditions as every other thing structurally necessary to achieve the best design depend upon it.Ĭommercial poultry farming usually adopts the use of the cage system which has proven quite effective as it increases productivity. This foundation should be built in such a way that it prevents the seepage of water into the poultry farm.
