The EU will ban conventional cages for laying hens and broilers by 2027. This regulation forces farms to switch to cage‑free systems, primarily floor rearing and aviaries. Consequently, demand for floor rearing equipment—feeders, drinkers, litter management, and ventilation—has surged.
Market analysts estimate that the transition affects over 300 million hens in Europe alone. Replacement cycle typically spans 3–5 years, meaning peak equipment sales will occur between 2025 and 2028. However, policy spillover to other regions extends the boom. In the US, several states (e.g., California, Michigan) have passed similar cage‑free laws, while large food retailers globally commit to cage‑free supply chains.
Thus, the “policy dividend” for floor rearing equipment will likely continue beyond 2030, driven by lagging adopters, retrofit demand, and emerging markets following Europe’s lead. Suppliers should prepare for sustained growth, not a short‑term spike.

All-In, All-Out, Complete Sanitization: Why Floor Rearing Systems Achieve Disease Elimination
Floor rearing systems offer a distinct advantage in disease control through the all-in, all-out management model. Unlike cage systems where birds remain in place across cycles, floor houses allow complete depopulation between flocks. This empty period enables thorough cleaning of every surface—walls, floors, feeders, and drinkers. Without cages obstructing access, disinfectants reach all areas, eliminating…

From Labor Shortage to Smart Farming: How Automated Feeding Systems Enable Long-Term Efficiency and Strategic Transformation in Poultry Production
Labor shortages are increasingly influencing poultry production systems worldwide. This article explores how automated feeding systems can reduce reliance on unstable labor while improving feeding consistency, production efficiency, and management standardization. It highlights the transition from labor-intensive to low-labor farming models and emphasizes automation as a long-term strategic investment rather than a short-term cost-saving measure.…

Variable-Frequency Fans and Multi-Stage Cooling Linkage Control: Response Mechanism of Smart Environmental Control Systems to Extreme Heat
Extreme heat events threaten poultry health and productivity. Smart environmental control systems employ variable-frequency fans (VFFs) and multi-stage cooling linkage to respond effectively. VFFs automatically adjust speed based on real-time temperature, providing low airflow during mild heat and maximum speed during heatwaves. This saves energy while maintaining bird comfort. Multi-stage cooling activates sequentially: first, tunnel…

Poultry House Orientation and Heat Stress Reduction: East–West vs North–South Layout Impact on Solar Heat Gain
Poultry house orientation is a fundamental design parameter that directly affects thermal comfort, ventilation efficiency, and broiler performance. In commercial poultry production systems, improper building orientation can significantly increase solar heat gain and raise the risk of heat stress, especially in hot climate regions. An east–west oriented poultry house is typically more exposed to direct…
