In the world of modern poultry farming, efficiency isn’t just an advantage—it’s a survival skill. For many medium-to-large farms, rising labor costs and inconsistent egg production have long been silent profit killers. But one farm in Henan Province proved that change is possible—with the right automation.
Before automation, this 8,000-hen operation relied on manual cleaning, daily egg collection, and constant health monitoring by hand. The result? A staggering 45% increase in labor hours per week, frequent hygiene issues due to delayed waste removal, and fluctuating egg yields averaging only 78%. According to ISO/CE standards for animal welfare and farm management, such inefficiencies not only affect output but also violate best practices in sustainable livestock operations.
The breakthrough came with the installation of a fully automated system featuring:
This setup reduced human intervention from 12 hours/day to just 3—while maintaining optimal hygiene conditions across all cages.
| Metric | Before Automation | After Automation |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Labor Hours | 48 hrs | 12 hrs |
| Average Egg Production Rate | 78% | 89% |
| Manure Removal Frequency | Every 24 hrs | Every 6–8 hrs |
Within 3 months post-installation, the farm saw:
As one farmer put it: “We didn’t just save time—we gained peace of mind.”
With global demand for high-quality eggs growing faster than supply, smart farms are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity. In fact, recent data shows that farms adopting full automation see up to 25% higher ROI within two years compared to traditional setups.
If you're managing a flock between 5,000 and 30,000 hens, now is the time to rethink your infrastructure—not as a cost center, but as a strategic investment.
“Automation doesn’t replace people—it empowers them to focus on what truly matters: animal care, business growth, and long-term sustainability.”
