A-Type Layer Chicken Cages for 15,040 Birds Poultry Farm in Zambia

Project Overview

In May 2022, Livi Machinery successfully supplied and installed a set of A-Type Layer Chicken Cages for a layer poultry farm in Zambia. The farm was designed to house 15,040 laying hens, adopting a well-ventilated open-style poultry house and semi-automated equipment to achieve stable, efficient egg production while controlling overall investment costs.

Client Requirements and Our Solution

The Zambian client required:

• A reliable cage system for over 15,000 laying hens
• Strong, anti-corrosion cages suitable for the local climate
• Equipment compatible with open-house ventilation
• Partial automation to reduce labor but keep operational costs reasonable

Livi Machinery designed a solution using 94 sets of A-Type Layer Chicken Cages, each with 4 tiers and 160-bird capacity. The cages were arranged in 2 rows, with 47 groups per row, housed inside a 98m × 10m open-sided poultry house. This setup was paired with gantry feeding and scraper-type manure cleaning systems.

Farm Layout and Equipment Supplied

• 94 sets of A-Type Layer Chicken Cages (4-tier, hot-dip galvanized)
• 1 gantry-type automatic feeding machine (serving both rows)
• 1 scraper-type manure cleaning machine (one-to-two system for 2 rows)
• Nipple drinking system with water pressure regulators
• Manual egg collection

The open-sided house design ensured natural ventilation, and the equipment configuration balanced productivity, labor reduction, and cost-efficiency.

Installation and Support

Livi Machinery provided:

• Detailed house layout and cage placement plans
• Remote installation guidance and video support
• Online training for local staff on operating gantry feeder and scraper system
• Ongoing after-sales service and spare parts support

The installation was completed in less than 4 weeks, with the farm quickly entering full production.

Customer Feedback

The client expressed high satisfaction with:

• The structural strength and rust resistance of the cages
• Efficient daily feeding using the gantry system
• Smooth and sanitary manure removal via scraper cleaner
• Responsive communication and technical support from Livi’s team
