10 FAMILY CAGES Family cages house small groups of birds together, allowing for social interaction while still providing the benefits of cage systems such as efficient management and biosecurity. These cages are designed to balance welfare with productivity. SINGLE CAGES Single cages house individual birds, making it easier to monitor and manage each bird's health, feeding, and egg production. This system can be beneficial for detailed tracking and preventing disease spread among birds, thus improving overall productivity. ENRICHED CAGES Enriched cages are designed to improve welfare within a cage system by including features such as perches, nesting areas, and more space. These cages aim to allow birds to exhibit more natural behaviours while still maintaining the advantages of cage housing, potentially enhancing productivity. CAGE HOUSING SYSTEMS Cage housing, where birds are kept in individual or group cages, is a more controlled environment that is often used for its efficiency in management and production. There are several types of cage systems, including family cages, single cages, and enriched cages, each offering different benefits. LOHMANN › MANAGEMENT GUIDE › HOUSING SYSTEMS
