Understanding The Spatial Advantages Of H-Type Systems



  • Land utilization efficiency H-type systems allow for a bird density that is 2.5 to 3 times higher than A-type cages within the same footprint.

  • Environmental control these systems are exclusively used in closed houses, allowing precise regulation of temperature and humidity.

  • Labor reduction automation reduces the human to bird ratio from 1:5,000 in traditional systems to 1:50,000 in fully automated H-type houses.

  • Hygiene standards by separating birds entirely from their waste via manure belts under every tier, ammonia levels are kept below 20 ppm.

Evaluating Ground Leveling And Foundation Integrity



  • Concrete  trength foundation must be reinforced concrete (Grade C25+) to prevent cracking.

  • Leveling tolerance floor level within ±5mm over 100-meter span is essential.

  • Drainage design walkways slope 0.5% toward external drainage.

  • Curing time allow 21–28 days for concrete before anchoring frames.
