Agriculture | | Spanish term or phrase: baterías de cajas metálicas | | En las aves de postura el mayor inconveniente lo constituye su alojamiento en baterías de cajas metálicas a lo largo de toda su vida productiva, que restringen su libre movimiento, al límite de no poder extender sus alas. |
| | | (metal/wire mesh) battery cages | Explanation:
This is the proper term.
What does it mean to be one of the 10.5 million battery-caged hens in Australia? Battery hens are kept on average for a year in ***wire mesh cages*** only 40 cm high with a floor area per bird of 450 cm2 - about three-quarters of the size of an A4 piece of paper. ***Battery cages*** do not allow the hens to stand properly, preen their feathers, stretch out or flap their wings. Battery hens cannot perch, cannot roost, cannot dustbathe, cannot forage for food, cannot satisfy their urge to lay their eggs in a nest.
