Metplast’s breeder cage systems are designed around bird comfort, controlled feeding, male-female placement, AI access, and cleaner hatching egg handling.
Built to support consistent breeder management across the flock.
Box Sizes Built Around Your Breed
Female boxes are available in three front widths — 18", 18.75", and 19.5" — housing 2 females per box.
Box selection is matched to breed, target body weight, and your hatchery’s egg handling plan, so birds get the space the breed actually needs.
H-Type Breeder Cage System
A breeder cage system designed around bird comfort, controlled feeding, male-female placement, AI access, and cleaner hatching egg handling.
Key Features
- Male-Female Layout Planning – Cage planning supports practical male and female placement for easier day-to-day breeder management.
- AI-Friendly Access – Layout planned to cut unnecessary worker movement during artificial insemination — faster rounds, calmer birds.
- Controlled Feeding – Touchscreen trolley feeding with per-box calibration keeps breeder body weight exactly where it should be.
- Cleaner Hatching Egg Handling – Egg roll and collection planned to reduce handling and keep hatching eggs clean.
- Engineered Wire & Structure – Wire diameter, mesh, and GI/ZAM coating are specified for bird comfort and long structural life — the wire under the bird decides foot health and egg cleanliness, so we don't treat it as an afterthought.
- Custom Feeder Options – ZAM, aluminium, GI, or PVC feeders — selected per project requirement.
- Inspection Cart Compatibility – Designed to support safe inspection across higher tiers.
Key Benefits

Supports cleaner hatching egg handling and easier AI workflow
02
Supports a well-organized breeding environment for the flock
03

Precision Feeding, Bird by Bird
Every Metplast breeder feeding trolley carries a 10-inch touchscreen display. From the screen, the operator can:
- Calibrate feed quantity per box — exact grams, not guesswork
- Skip empty boxes automatically — no feed wasted on vacant cages
- Keep body weight on target — controlled feeding is the foundation of breeder performance
The result: 99.7% feeding accuracy across the line, uniform body weight, and feed cost that stays under control.
Auto Flush Water Hygiene
Every Metplast nipple drinking line can be configured with an automatic flush system. Why it matters:
- After a medication or vaccination cycle, the line is flushed automatically — no residue sits in the pipe when birds drink next.
- In summer, stagnant warm water is flushed out so birds always drink cool, fresh water — and birds that drink well, eat well.
- Regular flushing keeps biofilm from building inside the line, protecting water quality every single day.
Available across layer, breeder, and broiler drinking systems, and alongside pan feeding setups.
Breeder Pullet Cage
Pullets are chicks — no egg production, no egg collection. Uniform breeder pullets are the foundation of breeder performance later.
Key Features
- Uniform Growth – Equal feed and water access so the flock grows together.
- Adjustable Nipple Line – Height adjusts as chicks grow, from day-old to transfer.
- Clean Manure Removal – Healthier growing environment, lower disease pressure.
- Multi-Tier Option – Grow more birds in the same shed footprint.
- Strong GI Construction – The same cage life standard as our breeder systems.
- Easy Inspection – Vaccination, grading, and inspection without stress.
Key Benefits
01
Stronger & Healthier Birds with thoughtful foot-protection design
02
Consistent Hydration across all growth stages
03
Higher Survivability with safe and comfortable conditions
04
Improved Farm Efficiency with structured design

Choose the Right Feeder for Your Farm
Metplast builds feeders in four materials. Each exists for a reason:
ZAM (Zinc–Aluminium–Magnesium) Coated
Our premium coating for feeders and cage wire. Zinc forms the base corrosion barrier. Aluminium builds a stable protective oxide layer that resists heat and humidity. Magnesium is the difference-maker — it seals and protects cut edges and scratches, exactly where ordinary coatings fail first. In an ammonia-rich poultry shed, ZAM lasts significantly longer than standard galvanizing.
Aluminium Feeder
Lightweight and naturally rust-free. Smooth surface keeps feed flowing and makes cleaning fast. Suited to farms that want low weight on the trolley line and zero corrosion worry.
GI (Galvanized Iron) Feeder
The proven workhorse — strong, economical, and field-tested across Indian farms for decades. The right choice where budget and durability must meet.
PVC Feeder
Corrosion-proof, food-safe, easy to wash, and economical. A practical choice for farms prioritising hygiene and simple maintenance.
Metplast Lighting Support
Lighting programs help farmers manage bird activity, feed behaviour, and reproductive readiness when planned properly. For breeder farms, the right lighting design supports flock management and reproductive performance when combined with the correct management program.
