The difference between flat raising and cage raising automation equipment

Farming and cage automatic equipment are two different breeding methods, the main difference between them lies in the breeding environment, equipment configuration, management efficiency and the impact on animal welfare.

1. farming environment

Farming automation equipment usually refers to the use of automated equipment to manage animals in an open or semi-open environment. In this way, animals have a relatively large space to move around and socialize freely. Cage automation equipment, on the other hand, places animals in closed cages and provides feed, water and medical care through automated equipment. The cage environment is relatively small, which limits the free movement of animals.

2. Device Configuration

Raising automation equipment usually includes automatic feeding machine, automatic drinking water, environmental monitoring equipment, etc., pay more attention to environmental regulation and simulation of the natural environment. The cage automation equipment pays more attention to the temperature, humidity, ventilation and other environmental control in the cage, as well as automatic feeding, automatic cleaning of feces and other functions. Cage equipment also includes specialized medical equipment and monitoring systems to deal with possible disease problems.

3. management efficiency

Although the leveling automation equipment provides a large space for activities, it is relatively difficult to manage and requires a large space and complex environmental control. Cage automation equipment can efficiently manage a large number of animals in a small space, improving the efficiency of breeding. In addition, cages can better isolate sick and weak animals and prevent the spread of diseases.

4. animal welfare implications

The flat raising method is closer to the natural state, which is beneficial to the health and welfare of animals. Although cage breeding can provide good living conditions and environmental control, long-term living in a small space may have an impact on the physical and mental health of animals. Therefore, in the choice of breeding methods, it is necessary to fully consider the welfare of animals.

In general, the level and cage automation equipment have their own advantages. Flat breeding pays more attention to the welfare of animals and the simulation of the natural environment, which is suitable for large animals and animals that need free movement; while cage breeding is more suitable for efficient management of a large number of animals in a limited space, while providing better living conditions and environmental control. When choosing a breeding method, it is necessary to consider comprehensively according to the type, demand and actual situation of animals.
