The feeding equipment used in most mechanized and factory chicken farms includes storage towers, conveyors, storage tanks and feeders. The free-range chicken house is equipped with a storage tower outside the chicken house that can hold the required feed for 1~2 days.
Working principle: The feed in the tower is transported to the storage box in the house through the conveyor at the bottom of the tower. There is a cylindrical automatic feeding tray at certain intervals in the chicken house, and the feed in the cylinder can be continuously and automatically flowed out and replenished.
Advantages of feeding line:
1. The advantage of this feeding device is that the feed composition is relatively uniform, which can prevent the picky eating phenomenon of chickens.
2. The height of the feeding tray from the ground can be adjusted to be level with the back of the chicken to reduce the splashing of feed from the plate when the chicken pecks.
3. When cleaning the chicken house, all trays can be raised at the same time, along with the feeding pipe and storage bin. There are two types of feeding equipment for cage houses: stationary and mobile. The fixed trough is fixed to the front wall of the coop and has a chain conveyor in the trough that is connected to a storage bin at the end of each row of coops. When the chain rotates, the feed is distributed from the storage bin to the trough.
