Battery Cages for Laying Hens: 20,000-Bird Poultry Project in Mozambique with H-Type 4-Tier Cage System
Mozambique’s poultry farm adopted LIVI’s battery cages for laying hens to house 20,000 layers in a single poultry house. The system features a high-density H-type 4-tier cage system arranged in four rows, with 140 sets of cages accommodating a total of 20,160 birds. Automation for feeding, egg collection, manure removal, and water supply is integrated to enhance efficiency and maintain hygiene throughout the farm.
The customer used A-type chicken cages for laying hens before, but he encountered the problem of chicken manure falling on the chickens and causing chicken diseases, so he wanted to upgrade to an H-type layer chicken cage system. He contacted us through a friend’s introduction, and we provided the customer with a detailed H-type automated battery cage poultry farming solution to meet his needs.

Why Use Battery Cages for Laying Hens in Mozambique?
Mozambique’s climate is warm and humid, which makes sanitation and disease control major concerns in poultry production. By using hot-dip galvanized H-type layer cages, the farm ensures rust resistance and long service life, even in tropical conditions.
The layer cage system features vertical stacking with 4 tiers, allowing high-density stocking while maintaining airflow. With just two rows in a single building, the layout is easy to manage, clean, and expand in the future.
Automation was essential to reduce daily labor. The gantry feeding machine, belt manure removal systems, and egg collection belts allow a small team to manage the entire farm efficiently. The battery cage system for layers not only saves time but also helps improve egg quality by reducing breakage and contamination.
Client Feedback
