NORTHCO Slant-Back Cage Laying System
IT'S A TOTAL
SYSTEM
75"
1905 MM
Northco’s Slant-Back System is the simple way
to increase profits by cutting building costs and
increasing bird densities.
HIGH DENSITY - Using Northco’s 18-mch (45.7
cm.) deep cages, forty thousand birds easily fit
into a 40-foot (12 2 m.) wide house with a 420-
foot (123 m ) long cage row. Systems with 16-
mch (40 6 cm.) deep cages are even more
compact. Either way the total height of the cage
row is only 75-mches (191 cm )
