Why do more and more customers want to raise layers? Why do more and more customers choose caged layers?
The market is in short supply of eggs. New poultry farms are basically expanding every year. Eggs are the cheapest nutrition. Many people do not eat meat or drink milk, but basically everyone eats 1 egg every day. The demand is huge. Because of the increasing popularity of healthy eating and the emphasis on protein-rich diets, there is a growing demand for eggs. Raising layers allows individuals to have a constant supply of fresh, high-quality eggs. After laying hens enter the egg-laying period, they will lay eggs every day for about a year and a half, which means the poultry farmer will have income every day.This is a very good industry, with huge market demand and fast capital turnover. Especially in the Philippine market, there are many people, and a large population means a large consumption of eggs.

About 10 years ago, most customers chose floor systems, but there are many problems that customers cannot solve. But these can be solved by using the cage.
First, larger breeding volume in the same area,2-4 times compared to the floor system.
Second, caged laying hens are easier to clean and maintain, providing a cleaner living environment compared to free-range or backyard systems, which helps reduce the mortality rate of the chickens.
Third, convenient management: convenient for collecting eggs, feeding, and reducing staff workload.
Fourth, caged layers are fed a controlled diet and have consistent access to water and other resources, resulting in more consistent egg quality compared to free-range or backyard birds. The most important is the higher egg production rate.
Clients told us floor system egg production is only 80%, but choose cage, egg production is more than 95%.making them a more cost-effective option for customers looking to maximize their egg production.
Cage Features in the Philippines
Due to the characteristics of the Philippine market environment and temperature, most of the Philippine chicken houses are open houses and elevated from the ground. The design for the chicken house is better ventilated and the manure can be easily handled. However, this special design has created a need for A-type and D-type cages in the Philippine market. To save more space.
