A-Type Automated Layer Cages for 20,000 Chickens Farm in Uganda
Project Overview
In 2019, Livi Machinery successfully delivered and assisted in the installation of A-Type Automated Layer Cages for a 20,000-layer poultry farm in central Uganda. The client, an experienced poultry operator looking to expand egg production while reducing operational labor, chose Livi’s fully automated A-type solution for its reliability, space efficiency, and long-term cost-effectiveness. The project marks another milestone in East Africa’s move toward modern, large-scale poultry farming.
Client Needs and Tailored Solution
The Ugandan client approached us with several specific needs:
- Housing 20,000 laying hens within a well-ventilated and compact facility
- Automating feeding, manure removal, and egg collection to reduce labor costs
- Ensuring cage durability in Uganda’s tropical climate
- Enhancing egg quality and improving bird management
After an on-site layout consultation and production goal analysis, we recommended our A-Type Automated Layer Cages in a 4-tier configuration, integrated with:
- Automatic gantry feeding system for uniform feed distribution
- Scraper manure removal system for improved hygiene and odor control
- Egg collection conveyor for fast, gentle egg gathering
- Nipple drinkers with pressure control and medication integration
This design ensured the client could manage 20,000 birds efficiently with minimal staff.
Poultry House Layout and Equipment Delivered
The layer house was constructed with a 3-row × 4-tier layout, offering high stocking density while maintaining proper ventilation and operational access.
Equipment Supplied:
- 126 sets of A-Type Automated Layer Cages (hot-dip galvanized steel)
