1. Egg Production
In Poultry Battery Cage, commercial egg production of chicken farm much higher as because, the movement of the laying hens are limited.

This is the opposite of what is obtained from floor rearing or other open-space rearing systems.
2. Reduction of feed Wastage
In Poultry Battery Cage systems, feed waste is reduced to a minimum as there will be no direct contact with the feeder case. Also, for no direct contact with the egg carrier, egg loss due to breaking by hens is also reduced to zero level.
