Manure management is no longer just a cleaning task- it directly affects bird health, farm efficiency, labour cost, and environmental performance. Manual removal is inconsistent, labour-intensive, and often leads to high ammonia levels, odors, flies, and nutrient loss.

Gartech’s Automated Manure Handling & Scraper System uses under-cage manure belts, pit scrapers, and transfer conveyors to collect manure regularly from under cages or pits and move it to central collection points. This creates a cleaner house environment and turns poultry manure into a managed resource instead of a disposal problem.

The system is engineered for layer and breeder farms using H-frame, A-frame and high-rise houses, and can be deployed in both new projects and retrofit upgrades in India and global markets.

Quick Value Highlights

Key Features of & Gartech’s

01

Lower Labour & Operating Costs

Automated belts, scrapers, and conveyors dramatically reduce manual scraping, loading, and tractor movement inside sheds. Over time, farms benefit from reduced labour dependency, fuel use, and equipment wear.

02

Better Bird Health & Performance

By keeping birds away from wet manure and high ammonia, the system supports better respiratory health, improved footpad condition, higher comfort, and more consistent productivity.

03

Reduced Environmental Impact

Faster, more controlled removal of manure lowers odors and emissions, helping farms align with environmental expectations and reduce neighbor complaints.

04

New Value from Poultry Waste

Drier, consistently handled manure is better suited for composting, biogas production, and organic fertilizer. This allows farms to convert manure from a cost centre into a potential revenue stream.

Key Benefits of & Gartech’s

Manure Belt Systems Under Cages

Polypropylene manure belts are installed beneath each cage row to collect droppings at the source. Belts run on scheduled cycles (typically every 1–2 days), carrying manure to the end of the house and reducing buildup under the birds. Ideal for H-frame layer and breeder houses.

Automated Operation Cycles & Control

Belts and scrapers can be programmed to run at defined intervals (for example, every 1-2 days). Local control panels with timers and safety features - or integration with existing farm automation - ensure consistent operation while optimizing energy use and equipment life.

Flexible Layout Compatibility

The system can be configured for H-frame, A-frame, California cage, high-rise, and deep-pit poultry houses. Each installation is customized to shed length, cage system type, and manure storage or processing strategy, making it suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects.

Integration with Waste-to-Value Systems

Gartech’s manure handling system is compatible with composting plants, biogas digesters, and fertilizer processing units. Regular and predictable manure collection supports continuous feed to downstream processes and helps standardize product quality.

Mechanism

How it & Works

Two stages, one continuous path from cage to storage.

Collect

Manure is collected under cages or in pits using belts and/or scraper systems.

Move

Transfer conveyors move the manure to a central collection, storage, or processing area.

Fit

Ideal For

Built to drop into these five setups without reworking the house.

Layer and breeder farms

H-frame and A-frame cage systems

High-rise poultry houses

New poultry projects

Revenue path

Farms planning composting or biogas for additional revenue

Clarity That Helps You Choose Better

It is a combination of belts, scrapers, and conveyors that automatically collects, transports, and conditions poultry manure from under cages or pits to a storage or processing area with minimal manual handling.

Yes. Many existing layer and breeder houses can be retrofitted with manure belts, scrapers, and transfer conveyors. Each system is designed around shed length, cage type, and available space for manure storage or processing.

Typically every 1 - 2 days, depending on stocking density, climate, and management goals. The removal frequency is programmable through the control system.

Yes. Automated systems significantly reduce manual scraping, loading, and tractor use inside sheds, which lowers labor costs, fuel consumption, and time spent on daily cleaning.

Yes. Regularly removed and properly handled manure is well suited for composting, biogas digesters, and direct use as organic fertilizer, helping convert waste into an income-generating resource.
