Exmple photos of layer cages for USNPRC.pdf

This document is an informational reference sheet containing example photographs and design specifications for layer cages intended for use at the USNPRC (University of Wisconsin National Primate Research Center).

The document presents three illustrative examples of feeder and egg tray designs for layer cages. Two examples depict acceptable feeder/egg tray designs showing birds accessing feed from trough-style feeders within cage systems. The third example illustrates a stackable three-tier cage structure with integrated manure trays (indicated by blue arrows), which is explicitly noted as an undesirable design option that should not be procured. The visual references demonstrate the preferred configuration for poultry housing infrastructure at the facility, establishing design parameters for potential vendors or internal planning purposes related to layer cage systems and associated feeding mechanisms.
