Cleaning and maintaining a broiler or broiler breeder cage is necessary for optimal performance and plastic longevity of the plastic cages. Initially, the refrigerator must be cleaned. Every day, faeces, feed remnants and other waste products should be removed from the cage’s bottom. Periodically, appropriate cleaning materials or disinfectants should be applied and the cage cleaned to avoid contamination. Always, check the cage for structural condition and if wires are broken or joints are loose, fix them right away. The feeding and watering systems must be intact, clean and functional. The air in the broiler cage must be adequately changed in order to keep the air clean. Better observance of these conditions prolongs the life span of the broiler breeding cage and the chickens are able to live in an optimal and healthy environment

What is the regular maintenance schedule for a broiler cage?

Free from manure and litter, the caged is cleaned regularly and inspected weekly. Monthly inspections for signs of rust or damage should also be completed, along with lubricating the moving parts in automated systems every few months.
First, place the broilers in a temp. location after which they can be placed back into the original enclosure. Use high pressure washer or cleaning solution to scrub off feces. Feeders and waterers should be cleaned, rinsed thoroughly, dried and only then can broilers can be placed back.

Regular Cleaning

Regular Cleaning

As with any poultry housing, a broiler cage must be cleaned on a routine basis. Cleaning procedures removing excrement, leftover food, and trash must be done on a daily or weekly basis. In addition, cleaning products and disinfectants need to be used on order for a clean environment of the chickens.
Inspect for Damage

Inspect for Damage

Check the broiler cage periodically for any prospective damages. Inspect the wires, joints, and other cage parts for general wear and tear, corrosion, or breakage. Damaged parts of the cage must be substituted or repaired right away to avoid accidents to the chickens and to maintain the cage’s structural integrity.
Lubricate Moving Parts

Lubricate Moving Parts

Ensure that any moving parts of the broiler cage such as the doors, feeders or waterers are kept lubricated with oil from time to time. This will keep them from becoming mechanically stuck and instead allow them to maximize the efficiency of movement and therefore benefit the overall efficiency of the cage.
