Farm-Master Automatic Broiler Cage System: Making Broiler Farming More Efficient and Intelligent

As broiler farming develops toward larger scale and higher intensification, traditional production methods that rely on manual labor for feeding, manure removal, and bird catching are increasingly facing problems such as high labor costs, intense physical workload, low harvest efficiency, and relatively high rates of bird injury.

The Farm-Master automatic bird harvesting broiler cage system integrates automatic feeding, automatic drinking, automatic manure removal, and automatic bird catching into one solution, providing modern broiler farms with an efficient, intelligent, and low-cost one-stop equipment solution.

This system not only reduces routine manual operations but also optimizes the entire production process from chick placement to mature bird harvest, helping farms improve production efficiency and reduce overall operating costs.

One system covers the major operations of broiler production.

The Farm-Master automatic bird harvesting broiler cage system is designed around the practical needs of large-scale broiler farming, integrating multiple production operations into a single cage system.

The system can perform:

• Automatic feeding;
• Automatic drinking;
• Automatic manure removal;
• Automatic bird catching and conveying;
• Centralized broiler harvesting;
• Coordinated operation with poultry house environmental control equipment.

The coordinated operation of automated equipment reduces disturbances caused by manual entry into cages and frequent handling, making the production process more continuous and standardized.

Six core advantages of the Farm-Master system

1. Process automation

The system automatically completes major operations including feeding, drinking, manure removal, and bird catching, reducing manual intervention during the production cycle.

From daily rearing to broiler harvest, multiple tasks can be completed continuously by the equipment, helping to improve the farm's level of automated management.

2. Labor cost savings

Traditional broiler harvesting typically requires substantial labor for catching, transporting, and cleaning, which not only involves intense physical work but also increases the pressure of temporary staffing and organizational management on the farm.

The Farm-Master automatic bird harvesting system reduces reliance on manual labor for bird catching and manure removal, making it particularly suitable for projects with large production scales, high labor costs, or difficulties in labor organization.

3. Improved harvest efficiency

The automatic bird catching and conveying system shortens harvest operation time, allowing broilers to be transported to designated locations more continuously and orderly.

An efficient harvest process helps shorten house turnaround time, allowing more time for subsequent cleaning, disinfection, and preparation for the next batch, thereby increasing the farm's overall production capacity.

4. Reduced bird injury

During manual bird catching, improper handling can easily cause damage to wings, feet, or breast areas, while also increasing stress responses in the birds.

Farm-Master employs a scientific bird catching and conveying method that allows broilers to move smoothly during the harvest process, helping to reduce injuries caused by direct grabbing and repeated handling, and improving the quality of mature birds at harvest.

5. Modular installation

The cage frame adopts an integrated assembled structure with high installation precision and faster construction. The modular design also facilitates routine inspection, maintenance, and future expansion, allowing flexible configuration based on house length and project scale.

6. Complete environmental control equipment integration

The system can be paired with environmental control equipment such as air preheating, ventilation, and evaporative cooling pads, forming a more complete modern broiler farming solution that covers both rearing equipment and poultry house environmental management.

Two bird harvesting methods for farms of different scales

Farm-Master offers broiler cage systems in different configurations to suit various production scales, investment budgets, and automation requirements.

Manual pull-out plastic slat floor system

The manual pull-out plastic slat floor system balances practicality and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for small to medium-sized broiler projects with high requirements for equipment cost performance and maintenance convenience.

This system features the following characteristics:

• The cage frame adopts an integrated assembled structure with high installation precision;
• Double-sided open cage doors facilitate daily observation, management, and bird catching;
• The floor is made of PP plastic material with good flexibility;
• Helps reduce abrasions to the breast, feet, and skin of birds;
• Dedicated feed troughs cover feeding requirements from chick placement to mature bird harvest;
• Ample space between tiers promotes air circulation;
• Clear structure for convenient installation and routine maintenance.

For customers seeking to control initial equipment investment while improving rearing efficiency, this configuration offers high practical value.

Self-propelled chain-driven H-type system

The self-propelled chain-driven H-type broiler cage system is designed for large-scale commercial broiler farms, enabling a higher level of automated bird harvesting.

The system adopts a rotatable track-type cage floor structure, eliminating the need for manual removal of plastic floor panels one by one during bird catching. Broilers can be automatically transferred to the harvest position through the cage floor conveying structure, significantly reducing manual catching and handling operations.

This system can:

• Automatically complete broiler conveying and centralized harvesting;
• Shorten bird catching and manure removal operation time;
• Reduce labor requirements during the harvest stage;
• Reduce stress responses in birds;
• Lower the risk of wing and foot injuries;
• Improve batch harvest efficiency for large-scale farms.

Independent conveying systems for bird catching and manure removal

The Farm-Master self-propelled chain-driven H-type system separates the bird catching conveyor from the daily manure removal system, using two independent conveying systems.

This structure reduces additional wear on the manure removal belt during bird catching operations, lowers the possibility of belt misalignment, and improves the long-term operational stability and service life of the equipment.

The independent system design also facilitates routine inspection and maintenance, preventing one operation from causing excessive interference with another.

High-quality components ensure stable operation

The Farm-Master automatic bird harvesting broiler cage system adopts structures and component configurations suitable for the farming environment, mainly including:

• High-strength steel structure;
• PP cage floor panels;
• Double-sided cage doors;
• Independent conveying systems;
• Generous vertical spacing between tiers.
• Automatic broiler catching and conveying line.

The high-strength cage frame provides stable support for multi-tier broiler rearing; PP plastic flooring offers good flexibility, making it more suitable for broiler growth and market readiness; reasonable inter-tier spacing facilitates air circulation within the poultry house and enables convenient equipment inspection and routine management.

Which broiler farming projects is this suitable for?

The Farm-Master automatic broiler removal cage system is suitable for:

• Newly built modern broiler farms;
• Medium to large-scale commercial broiler projects;
• Poultry farms aiming to reduce the number of farm workers;
• Broiler farms requiring faster time-to-market;
• Projects with high requirements for low bird injury rates and high market-ready quality;
• Existing farms planning to upgrade feeding, drinking, manure removal, and bird removal equipment.

Small and medium-sized projects may opt for a structurally practical, easy-to-maintain manual pull-out plastic slat floor system; large-scale projects may choose the more highly automated self-propelled chain-driven H-type system.

Why choose Farm-Master?
