1.What is a Layer Cage System
The continuous layer cage system, also known as "layer cage" or "chicken cage system", is a modern and efficient way to raise laying hens. The multi-layer structure effectively separates the chickens at different levels, making it easier to manage, clean and monitor.
Advantages of the laying hen cage system:
1. Improve space utilization,
2. Reduce disease transmission,
3. Simplify the production process,
4. And improve egg quality and production
Commercial laying hen breeds in the Philippines include: Lohmann Layers, Dekalb White Layers, Babcock White Layers
Philippine native chickens are usually named after their place of origin, and the main breeds are:
Banaba chicken from Batangas, Darag chicken from Panay Island, Parawakan chicken from Palawan

2.What are the 3 types of cage systems?
Different breeding goals and site conditions determine different choices. The 3 types of egg-laying chicken cage systems in the Philippines are:
- Fully automatic H type
- Fully automatic A type
- Semi-automatic A type
1. Fully automatic H type (vertical chicken cage): This is the most modern and efficient type of chicken cage. Chicken cages are stacked vertically into multiple layers, suitable for large-scale intensive egg-laying chicken business.
2.A type cage: These cages are "A" shaped, and the cage layers are arranged in a stepped manner. Feeding and drinking systems are usually located on both sides of the cage. Convenient for lighting and ventilation of chickens
Philippine market trend: Automated H-type chicken cages are more popular with farmers, and the usage rate in large breeding areas such as Luzon has increased by 30%.
