Frequently Asked Questions



Q1: Why does airflow differ between cage tiers?

Air velocity decreases toward lower tiers due to obstruction by cage structure and manure belts. 

Typical range varies from 1.6 m/s upper to 0.5 m/s lower zones.

Q2: What causes high ammonia concentration in cage houses?

Manure accumulation under cages releases ammonia gas. 

Lower cage zones often reach 26 ppm due to longer decomposition time before removal.

Q3: How to reduce egg breakage during collection?

Adjust egg slope between 6.8° and 8.2° and use cushioned belt systems to reduce impact force below 1.8 N.
