Abstract: A module for poultry farming cages, to be inserted in a cage for egg-laying hens which is provided with a bottom which is inclined toward a lateral slot for the egress of eggs toward egg collection elements. The module comprises elements for preventing the egress of chicks through the slot and elements for providing feed dispensers and drinking troughs to the animals which are adapted to their respective growth phases.

Abstract: A barn-type poultry farming system comprising, on a supporting frame, at least one multistorey battery of farming cages. At one side of the multistorey battery there is an inspection corridor and at another side there is a free area on which the poultry can walk and for transit to cages of different farming levels, the cages being open and provided with perches on the side directed toward the free area.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributing feed, comprising: at least one line for the distribution of feed from at least one storage location to a series of dispensers for dispensing the feed to the cages of animals, at least one feed container which affects the line upstream and downstream of the dispensers respectively for the loading and discharging of feed, on the part of the line, not released to the dispensers, means for detecting the level of feed inside the container, at least one control system adapted to receive filling information of the feed container from the detection means and to control the loading of the line with feed from the storage location or from the feed container and to set the travel speed of the line.

Abstract: A drying machine for pasty and/or granular substances, which comprises a supporting frame for a plurality of superimposed conveyor belts, the frame being provided with lateral openings for the passage of air, each conveyor belt being supported by a plurality of spaced rollers which are pivoted to the frame, the rollers being surrounded by spacers which are adapted to define, between the rollers and the belt, air passage spaces to optimize the drying of the conveyed substances, each roller being surrounded by a single helical body with spaced turns that define the air passage space between the roller and the belt.

Abstract: An aviary apparatus for rearing laying hens, which comprises mutually laterally adjacent multistory rearing batteries, each one of the batteries comprising at least one lower stop surface and one upper stop surface, with areas on which the poultry can walk between the batteries and laterally to the outermost batteries. The lower stop surfaces and upper stop surfaces comprise corresponding conveyor belts for eggs and feces, the walkable areas comprising inclined floors which are arranged descending toward a contiguous conveyor belt of a lower stop surface of a corresponding battery.
