For poultry farmers managing 5,000 to 30,000 laying hens, manual egg collection and waste removal are not just time-consuming—they’re costly, inconsistent, and often lead to health risks. A case study from Zhengzhou Livi Machinery shows how their H-type layer cage system reduces labor intervention by over 40% while improving egg quality and hen welfare.
Traditional farms rely on daily hand-picking—typically 2–3 hours per shift for a 10,000-bird operation. This leads to:
One farm in Henan Province reported saving over $12,000 annually after switching to an automated setup—a clear win for both efficiency and profitability.
The H-type cage uses gravity-fed egg slides at precise angles (45°–50°) that ensure eggs roll smoothly into collection trays without cracking. Combined with programmable manure removal every 4–6 hours based on flock size, the system minimizes human contact and maintains stable coop conditions.
| Flock Size | Recommended Configuration | Expected Labor Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000–10,000 | Single-line egg conveyor + weekly cleanout | ~35% |
| 15,000–25,000 | Dual-line system + automatic manure belt | ~50% |
| 25,000–30,000+ | Modular multi-level setup with IoT sensors | ~60% |
Even smart systems face occasional issues like “egg jams” or clogged manure channels. The key is proactive maintenance:
Training videos and illustrated guides help new staff master basic troubleshooting within one week. Many clients report faster onboarding times and fewer operational errors.
Real-world feedback matters. One client in Nigeria said: “After installing the H-type cages, we saw our daily egg output increase by 6%—not because the birds laid more, but because fewer eggs were damaged during collection.”
If you're facing recurring carding problems or inefficient cleaning routines, it might be time to rethink your setup. Let’s talk about what works—and what doesn’t—for your specific farm size and goals.
