How Coastal Poultry Farms Can Protect Cages From Rust

For poultry farms near Nigeria’s coast, “galvanized” should be only the starting point when buying layer cages. Before paying, ask the supplier for written details of the coating process, the specification for each cage part and the warranty terms. Inspect a sample cage section closely. Check the frame, welds and wire for damaged coating, and ask how any defects should be repaired. Do not rely on photographs or broad promises about how many years the cages will remain rust-free. Also check for conditions that keep cages wet, especially leaking drinkers and poor ventilation. A proper purchase record should include the agreed material specification, delivery inspection and a maintenance plan for the humid environment.
