[0003] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: Currently, in traditional egg-laying hen cages, the eggs laid by the hens fall into the inside of the cage, making it difficult for the keepers to easily remove the eggs. At the same time, because the hens are confined in the cages for a long time, their excrement can only be excreted inside the cages, which will affect the breeding environment if not cleaned for a long time. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a combined breeding cage to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a modular breeding cage. By setting snap-fit parts on both sides of the upper and lower end faces of the cage body, multiple breeding cages can be combined and spliced. The movable plates that are movably embedded on both sides of the upper end face of the cage body can increase the internal space of the breeding cage after being pulled out. At the same time, the set tray can work with the embedded sieve plate to discharge eggs from the inside of the cage body. The movable embedded collection box can collect and centrally process excrement.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
