Overview
Catching is the hardest, most stressful job in a broiler house. This system transports birds out automatically, so move-out is quicker, calmer and needs fewer hands — and marketing weight comes out more uniform as a result.
Manure is removed daily rather than at the end of the batch, so in-house ammonia stays low and cleaning and disinfection between batches is simple.
Automatic Push-Pull Harvest Broiler Cage
An extended variant of the automatic harvesting cage, built for continuous large-scale broiler production.
- Cage frame: Q235 high-quality steel with a 275g/m² hot-dip galvanised coating for superior corrosion resistance.
- Automatic bird harvesting system: transports broilers out of the house; daily manure removal keeps in-house ammonia emissions to a minimum.
- Plastic slat floor: pull-type soft PP flooring prevents breast blisters, promotes clean and healthy feet, and enables quick, efficient broiler move-out.
- 4-tier battery cage: 2–4x higher capacity than floor rearing, high space utilisation and reduced heating and cooling energy costs.
