Layer Duck Cage System Technical Overview
Layer Duck Cage System Structural Design & Innovations
This tiered cage system features optimized spatial design with each duck occupying 780cm² floor area, grouped in 5-door modules (1300mm length × 600mm depth × 500mm height). The configuration houses 2 ducks per cage door – balancing stock density with behavioral needs while enabling vertical integration. The 500mm tier height exceeds industry minimums, accommodating natural standing/movement behaviors, while the 600mm depth minimizes feed waste during reaching. With galvanized steel construction and modular scalability, the system achieves 43% higher stocking density than flat-deck alternatives while reducing labor inputs by 55%.
1. Space & Efficiency Breakthrough
5-door modules (1300mm length) → Labor cost ↓50%
780cm²/duck → 45% space saving vs free-range
500mm height → Precision climate control (±1℃)
2. Core Benefits Realization
| Requirement | Solution |
|---|---|
| Spatial efficiency | 3-tier vertical density (45 ducks/m²) |
| Labor productivity | Central feeding/egg collection |
| Disease control | Isolated units + daily manure removal |
| Economic return | FCR 2.4:1 (vs 2.8:1) |
| Environmental protection | Sealed manure system → NH₃<15ppm |
3. Climate Control Standards
- Building Envelope: Polyurethane insulation (K≤0.4W/㎡·K)
- Ventilation Formula:
Airflow (m³/h) = Ducks × Weight(kg) × FactorSummer Factor: 7.5 Winter Factor: 1.8
- Golden Rule: Never compromise duck health for energy savings
4. Egg Quality Certification
| Parameter | Traditional | Cage System | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dirty eggs | 15-30% | ≤2% | ↓90% |
| Breakage | 3-8% | 0.5% | ↓94% |
| Salmonella | >25% | <1% | ↓96% |
