Superior Structural Durability Through Advanced Galvanization



Galvanized H type chicken cage frames apply hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing to form a zinc–steel protection layer.
For long-term poultry cage use exceeding fifteen years, hot-dip galvanizing delivers stable surface protection.

FeatureHot-Dip Galvanizing (Hdg)Electro-Galvanized (Cold)
Zinc Coating Thickness45μm – 120μm10μm – 20μm
Salt Spray Test Resistance> 500 hours< 72 hours
Service Life Expectancy20+ years5 – 8 years
Adhesion Strength2500 psi (metallurgical bond)500 psi (physical bond)
Corrosion Rate In Poultry Sheds0.5 – 1.0 μm/year2.5 – 4.0 μm/year

This comparison highlights why hot-dip galvanizing is preferred for long-term poultry cage installations.



Maximizing Land Productivity With Vertical H Type Design



Land and poultry house construction account for the largest early-stage investment.
The H type poultry cage system expands vertically rather than horizontally.

H Type Cage (Automated)60 – 85 birds4 – 8 tiers75,000+ birds
Internal Area Utilization15%45%85%

The data shows how vertical cage layouts dramatically improve land-use efficiency.



Enhanced Biological Security And Disease Control



Birds in galvanized h type chicken cages remain physically separated from manure.
Each tier integrates a dedicated manure belt for scheduled waste removal.
