Breeder Cage Heating System

This water-heated underfloor intelligent heating system is custom-developed for stacked/stepped cage-reared meat and layer breeders, adopting ground low-temperature hot-water radiant heating structure. It precisely matches three-stage breeding temperature curves: rearing period (22–26°C), pre-laying period (20–24°C), and laying breeding period (21–25°C). Breeders are extremely sensitive to environmental stress. Temperature fluctuations and bottom-layer chilling directly reduce male and female libido, disturb ovulation, lower fertilization rate and degrade hatching egg quality. Traditional hot-air heating easily causes large temperature differences between layers and frequent stress from direct airflow. By circulating hot water through buried food-grade PE pipes, the system dissipates heat gently from bottom to top, realizing constant ground temperature in cage areas with zero temperature dead zones and eliminating cold stress for bottom-layer breeders. Equipped with 304 stainless steel water distributors, it supports independent temperature control for separated male-female rearing. Intelligently linked with ventilation, lighting and spray systems, it balances heat preservation, air exchange and dehumidification to maintain optimal breeding humidity of 55–65%. Corrosion-resistant pipes withstand ammonia, dust and high humidity for long-term durability. Suitable for global large-scale breeder farms, it stabilizes fertilization and hatchability rates and extends breeder service life, delivering a low-stress and high-stability constant-temperature environmental solution for poultry breeding.

Application scenarios

Large-scale cold-northern brooder farms use underfloor heating to stabilize ground temperature at 33–35°C, eliminating chick huddling and death from cold.
