Open Chicken House A-type Layer Cage System for 10,000 Laying Hens in Uganda
Project Overview
In May 2023, Livi Machinery delivered a complete A-type Layer Cage System to a poultry farm in Uganda, helping the client establish a productive open-sided chicken house designed to raise over 10,000 laying hens. The solution focused on structural simplicity, cage durability, and labor-saving manure management suitable for local farming conditions.
Project Details
To meet the client’s goal of medium-scale egg production in an open environment, Livi designed a customized plan using 4-tier layer cages in a compact layout:
- Cage model: A-type 4-tier, 5-door
- Cage size: 1950mm × 450mm × 410mm
- Birds per cage set: 160 layers
- Chicken house size: 38m × 15m × 3.5m
- Layout: 4 rows × 16 sets = 64 cage sets
- Total capacity: 160 × 64 = 10,240 laying hens
The open-sided shed allows for natural airflow, reducing temperature buildup while keeping the birds comfortable in Uganda’s tropical climate.
Equipment Supplied
The farm was equipped with the following components:
- ✅ 64 sets of A-type Layer Cages (hot-dip galvanized, anti-corrosion)
- ✅ Nipple drinking system with water tanks
- ✅ Scraper-type manure cleaning system (2 sets for 4 rows)
This configuration combines basic automation and robust cage structure to create an efficient and low-maintenance egg production environment.
