A unit for transporting live poultry includes a supporting frame and a series of drawer-type cages open at the top, which can be at least partially extracted from the supporting frame in the direction of one side, either the back side or one lateral side, of the transporting unit other than the front side at which the poultry are introduced into the drawer-type cages.

Method and system for transporting live poultry

Apparatus is provided for loading poultry from a rearing house into a series of hen-coops arranged in vertical rows on a transport vehicle. The apparatus includes an elevator conveyor which takes the animals from an assembly enclosure to a vehicle movable transversely of the elevator conveyor. This vehicle comprises a first horizontal conveyor extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and arranged to receive animals from the elevator conveyor, an adjustable-inclination conveyor disposed alongside the first horizontal conveyor, a second horizontal conveyor disposed transversely to the first horizontal conveyor and arranged to transfer animals from that conveyor onto the adjustable-inclination conveyor, and a pneumatic forced-delivery unit located transversely at the output end of the adjustable inclination conveyor.
