We use deep-litter housing for broilers to allow free movement and comfort, while layers are kept in battery cages or colony systems to enhance egg collection efficiency and management

The cage system is the most common housing type for commercial poultry production, particularly for egg-laying hens, due to its efficiency and space-saving design. For broiler chickens, which are raised for meat, the most common system is a floor-housed operation, often called the deep litter system. <div>Cage system</div><div>Description: Birds are housed in stacked, multi-tiered wire cages, with one to three birds per compartment. </div>

Open houses and ECH Environmental controlled houses are mostly seen in poultry production.

The most common type of housing for poultry production is the intensive/confinement system, which includes methods like the litter system and cage systems. In this system, birds are kept indoors with controlled environments, but the deep litter system and cage systems are the most popular due to their high stocking density and efficiency.

The type of house will depend to a large extent on the production objective that is achieved, as well as on the environmental conditions where it is going to be built
