Construction of cages for laying hens
Barn building construction kaitanya closely with the effort or determination setting height and width of the cage, length, shape roof, wall and floor model, which is aligned with environmental conditions or local climate. All the above factors is set in such a way to create comfort.Chickens will feel comfortable when the ambient temperature within the range between 18-24 degrees centigrade. In this case, the chicken will not feel too hot or kediinginan. Indeed in our country ii, cold temperature is not a problem, the problem is too high a temperature. If the ambient temperature rises to above 29 degrees centigrade, the chicken was uncomfortable. Inconvenience chickens are shown in their behavior, such as chicken gasping with open mouth, the wings are often stretched and sebgainya. However, the increase temperature to 27 degrees centigrade, the chicken was still able to adapt well.
To get a good air trajectories and current, width and height of the cage must be harmonized, such as size 6m-7m high and 2.5 m-3 m, is quite adequate. In small cages, natural ventilation to function properly, since the turn of indoor air becomes more smoothly. However, the cage was too wide and low will lead to less natural ventilation to function properly. In cages with more than 7m wide, less natural ventilation to function properly, it needs to be installed ventilasai fan-made form.
Actually, for the length of the cage there is no limit, building a long padaumumnya determined by the available land area. But even so, if the cage is too long, remains to be divided into plots, or become stable sectional.
Roof cage serves to overshadow the chicken from the hot sun and rain exposure. besides that the roof also serves to influence the temperature and humidity inside the cage. effect of temperature and humidity are closely kaitanya to form the roof level, roof slope or angle, the shadow system of roof and materials used in making roof.
