The mechanized battery cage system for poultry currently adopts two methods of raising chickens: flat raising and chicken cages raising. There are two main types of chicken houses: open and closed.

The open chicken complex is equipped with gates and ridges, which are ventilated by natural air flow and lighted by natural light from the windows. The temperature and humidity in the meeting basically change with the four seasons. The chicken cost is low, the equipment investment is low, and the feed requirements are not strict. However, the production capacity of chickens is greatly affected by the natural environment, and epidemic prevention is more difficult.

The closed-type chicken house uses materials with good thermal insulation properties to build the roof and four walls, and there are no windows on all sides. The microclimate and lighting in the house can be adjusted according to the needs of the physiological function of the chicken body, so that the chicken can perform periodic performance on the basis of high yield and stability. Cattle production, but also reduce the infection of foreign diseases. However, the investment in the chicken house is high, the dependence on electricity is large, and full-price feed must be required. It is the main type of factory and mechanized chicken raising equipment.
