Aviary System for Laying Hens Introduction
The aviary system is a modern, cage-free poultry house that provides laying hens with multi-tiered activity spaces and a natural, free-ranging environment. Unlike traditional poultry cage systems, the aviary system for laying hens mimics conditions found in nature, allowing hens to move freely across multiple levels, engaging in natural behaviors such as scratching, walking, leaping, perching, and foraging. The aviary system typically includes horizontally and vertically distributed perches, nesting boxes, drinkers, and feed troughs, with soft bedding on the ground to support these behaviors.
Through well-structured designs and multifunctional zones, the aviary poultry system ensures the health and welfare of poultry. The aviary system for laying hens has become a preferred solution for many farms in the modern egg-laying industry due to its efficiency and compliance with animal welfare standards. As an innovative cage-free farming model, the aviary poultry system is specifically designed for laying hens, enhancing their ability to express natural behaviors while improving farming efficiency to meet diverse market demands.
Features and advantages of AGICO Aviary poultry System
Free Movement Space
Laying hens can move freely between multi-tier platforms because of the aviary poultry system’s multi-tier design, providing them with larger activity areas and satisfying their natural behavioral needs. This reduces stress and disease while boosting their immunity, health, and overall comfort.
Promotes Natural Behaviors
The aviary system for laying hens is designed to meet the natural behavioral needs of hens, such as nesting, perching, foraging, and scratching:
- Perches: Offer places for resting and roosting at night.
- Foraging and Scratching: The ground is often covered with soft litter, allowing hens to forage and scratch freely.
- Perching and Leaping: Multi-layered structures encourage climbing and leaping, aligning with hens’ innate tendencies.
- Manure belt for each tier: Manure free and good air quality.
- Nesting and Egg-Laying: Concealed nesting boxes provide a comfortable space for hens to lay eggs, reducing stress during egg-laying.
Egg-collecting line for each tier: No floor eggs.
Improved Animal Welfare
The aviary system is considered an important farming method that complies with animal welfare standards. By enabling hens to perform natural behaviors, the system minimizes stress, feather pecking, and other behavior-related issues that are common in traditional cage systems.
Enhanced Egg Quality
By optimizing space usage and supporting animal welfare, the aviary system maintains high production efficiency while meeting the market demand for premium poultry products. Studies show that eggs produced in aviary systems often have better quality, including stronger shells, lower breakage rates, and overall superior standards.
Multi-Tier Structural Design
Aviary systems typically feature a multi-level design that incorporates perches, nesting boxes, drinking systems, and feeding stations. This vertical layout maximizes space utilization, making it suitable for high-density modern farms. The design also reduces waste accumulation and odors, helping maintain a cleaner environment and better air quality inside the poultry house.
The aviary system represents a modern, welfare-focused approach to poultry farming, combining animal care with efficient production to deliver high-quality eggs and promote sustainable farming practices.
Aviary poultry System Application and market
Laying Hen Farming
Aviary systems are particularly suitable for laying hens requiring free movement and support for natural behaviors. In markets prioritizing high-quality, eco-friendly, and sustainable eggs, aviary systems are becoming the preferred choice.
Broiler Farming
For broilers that benefit from larger activity spaces to improve meat quality, aviary systems are also an ideal solution.
High-Welfare Farming Regions
Countries and regions with strict animal welfare requirements, such as the EU, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, widely adopt aviary systems due to their compliance with welfare standards.
Sustainable Markets
As consumers increasingly prioritize the production methods of poultry products, aviary systems align with eco-friendly and high-welfare principles, gaining strong market recognition.
Climate-Suitable Regions
Aviary systems require proper ventilation to function effectively, making them more suitable for regions with moderate climates and good airflow conditions.
By offering flexibility and meeting diverse market demands, aviary systems are well-positioned to support both animal welfare and sustainable farming practices, ensuring their place in modern poultry farming.
