Layer Cage Control System

This intelligent environmental control system for pullet cages is custom-developed for stacked/stepped cage-reared pullets aged 0–18 weeks, adopting the real-shot three-cabinet integrated control cabinet with touch screen, PLC core, multiple manual control buttons and monitoring meters. It links water-heated underfloor heating systems, ventilation fans, spray cooling & dust suppression, lighting systems, feeding and manure removal equipment, realizing automatic precise regulation of temperature-humidity, ammonia, negative pressure, lighting and timing for three growth stages: chicks (0–3 weeks), young pullets (4–8 weeks) and growers (9–18 weeks). Chicks have weak thermoregulation and are extremely sensitive to temperature and ground heat, requiring stable high temperature of 33–35°C for 0–3 weeks. Traditional manual control easily causes large temperature differences, cold-induced huddling, low survival rate and uneven growth. Collecting real-time data from environmental sensors, the system prioritizes linkage with underfloor heating for even bottom-up temperature control, strictly matching three-stage temperature curves. It supports zoned independent control, multi-stage timing programming and APP remote monitoring, with both automatic and manual emergency modes. It stably maintains high brooding temperature and optimal grower temperature-humidity, reducing risks of respiratory diseases and cold stress, improving flock uniformity and survival rate, and delivering a full-cycle intelligent breeding control solution for commercial pullet farms.
