Let’s dig deeper. When farms use the old way—manual checks and non-automatic feeding:

An automated egg collection system utilizes technology like conveyor belts, lifts, sensors, and sometimes robotics (AI in the poultry industry) to gather eggs laid by hens in poultry houses and transport them to a central processing point. This automation minimizes manual labor (labour costs), reduces egg breakage, improves hygiene by limiting human contact with poultry products, and enhances overall farm efficiency and productivity in egg production.

A-type chicken cages are a common poultry housing system where tiers of cages are arranged in a stepped, offset manner, resembling the letter ‘A’ in cross-section. This design allows manure to fall directly into a pit or onto dropping boards below, simplifying structure and often reducing initial investment compared to more complex systems like H-type cages.
