H Type Battery Chicken Layer Cage System for 30,000-Bird Poultry Farm in South Africa
Project Overview
In 2025, a commercial poultry enterprise based in South Africa sought to expand its layer production to meet growing market demand for fresh eggs. The farm selected the H Type Battery Chicken Layer Cage System supplied by LIVI Machinery as the core equipment for its 30,000-bird automated layer house.
