A NEW INNOVATIVE way of building poultry coops has been launched.

The Plastic Poultry Cage Mesh, a vital building material for coops makes poultry keeping and production more effective and profitable.

The plastic cage mesh produced by SANPAC Africa Ltd, allows the farmer to keep his/her birds in a scientifically controlled manner, allowing them to have enough space to freely move within the coop.

“Technology can make a huge difference for poultry farmers who wish to increase their yields while raising their birds in a clean and healthy environment,” said Neeraj Raja, SAPNAC Africa Ltd director, adding that the plastic poultry cage mesh is one such perfect way of achieving this.

The cage system, made of thin, flexible galvanised steel wire, entails rearing the poultry on a raised wire netting floor, inside small compartments with sufficient room for the birds’ mobility.

Poultry farmers throughout Europe, America and Asia have been using extruded polyethylene nets, made using similar technology, for maintaining better hygienic and productivity standards.

MORE NATURAL HABITAT

The cage mesh is comfortable and a more natural habitat to the birds, allowing for a higher bird density.

“Whether they are chicks, layers or broilers, the cage mesh comes in handy. This enclosure is widely used for securing the birds without compromising their hygiene,” said Raja.

He further alluded that 75 per cent of commercial layers in the world are kept in such cages for higher yields.

Contemporary poultry farming is source of livelihood to farmers who realise that they can exploit a small area to reap a fortune.

Housing plays a big role in poultry farming; providing comfort and protection for the birds, a common knowledge to poultry farmers, who know that getting the best chicken breeds with desired qualities, proper feeding, control and management of diseases as well as the suitable housing, are key to success in this agribusiness.

The durable, stronger, lightweight and easy to install mesh, which is also easy to clean, sells at a recommended retail price of Sh235 per metre square.
