How to reduce chicken-harvesting injuries on broiler farms?

According to industry data, catching chickens is the most damaging stage in the process of raising meat chickens. The traditional manual method of catching chickens is not only inefficient but also prone to causing blood stasis and wing fractures in the chickens due to improper operation, directly resulting in a decline in the quality of the harvested chickens and thus affecting the selling price.

How to address the pain points in this industry? Retech Farming presents you with a brand-new solution: a chain-type chicken cage equipment paired with an automatic chicken-catching platform.

1. Why is the traditional chicken-catching method a “profit killer”?

In traditional chicken farming, the manual chicken-catching process has the following uncontrollable factors:
1. Strong stress response: When people enter the chicken coop, the chicken flock is likely to become panicked, causing them to fly around and collide, resulting in fractures and internal bleeding.
2. Rough operation: To speed up the process, manual catching often involves excessive force, causing the chicken’s wings to break and the chest to be bruised.
3. Efficiency bottleneck: As the farming scale expands, the speed of manual catching cannot keep up with the slaughter rate, causing the chickens to stay in the coop for an excessively long time, affecting the hatching of subsequent batches.
Consequences: The chicken’s appearance is damaged, the slaughterhouse reduces the price, and the profit margin of the farmers is severely squeezed.

2.The advantages of the Retech Farming chain-type broiler cage equipment’s automatic chicken-hatching system 

RETECH Automatic Chain-type Harvesting Broiler Raising Equipment, equiped with All-New Fully Automatic Harvesting System which is the most advanced technology worldwide.
Replaces manual pull-out boards with a chain-driven plastic conveyor floor. This fully autonomous system prevents bird injury and significantly boosts harvesting efficiency.

2. Gentle gathering, reducing stress
Through the coordination of chain conveyors and intelligent platforms, the chickens are gently guided to the capture area instead of being forcibly driven away by humans. This “flexible” operation method significantly reduces the stress response of the chicken flock, allowing the chickens to complete the slaughter process in a calm state.

3. Significantly reduce damage and enhance appearance

Thanks to the intelligent operation process, our chain-type broiler cage equipment effectively avoids violent handling during manual capture. Bruising and wing breakage have been significantly reduced, ensuring the integrity and aesthetic appeal of each chicken that is ready for sale.

4. Faster capture, smoother loading
After the efficiency of chicken capture was improved, for large-scale farms, time is equivalent to cost. Faster capture not only means a reduction in labor costs, but also shortens the exposure time of the chickens during the slaughter process, further reducing stress reactions.

3.Which chicken farms are suitable for broiler chain-type harvesting cage equipment?

If your situation matches the following conditions, the value of this equipment will be more evident:

  • Large batch of livestock for sale, high pressure from manual chicken catching
  • High rate of chicken injuries
  • High requirements for chicken appearance and product grade
  • Desire to reduce labor costs and catching time
  • Need to improve the overall selling efficiency and price of the farm
