The cages and their frames were designed, fabricated in the Department of Agricultural Engineering, and stocked with birds of the same age, breed and reared under the same environmental conditions. The eggs laid in the cages were recorded daily and data collected were later analysed. The analysis of results showed that: .Egg production decreased with increase in stocking density for 1200cm2 cage floor area. Beyond that, the result was inconsistent. .Egg production increased with increase in cage floor area. .The effects of cage size and stocking density were found to be significant (P > 0.01). .The poultry cage frame designed for the experimentation using equal angle mild steel was structurally safe. .The best cage design for Ile-Ife area of Oyo State is the design of floor area of about 1200cm2 with a stocking density of 2 birds per cage. Neasurement of existing cages gave a range of 1400cm2 to 1600cm2 floor area with stocking density of two birds per cage. 2019-10-22T15:02:59Z 2019-10-22T15:02:59Z 1985 Thesis https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/handle/123456789/5009 en application/pdf Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria
