H-type Battery Cage System for 20,000 Layers Poultry Farm in Burkina Faso
Project Overview
In 2025, a poultry farm in Burkina Faso collaborated with LIVI Machinery to establish a modern layer breeding facility designed for 20,000 laying hens. The customer opted for the H-type Battery Cage System, a reliable and automated solution suitable for high-efficiency egg production under West African climate conditions.
To meet the capacity and space limitations, LIVI designed a compact 2-row layout using 4-tier H-type cages, equipped with full automation for feeding, egg collection, manure removal, and environmental control. The system not only maximized house utilization but also minimized labor costs and disease risks through closed-house design.
