In recent years, Tanzania's poultry sector has witnessed significant growth, driven by rising domestic demand and export potential. Among the key contributors to this progress is the adoption of advanced technologies such as the Livi Mechanical Broiler Ground System, developed by Zhengzhou Livi Machinery Manufacturing. This system, designed in adherence to international quality standards, has showcased tremendous promise in optimizing large-scale meat chicken production.
The Livi Mechanical Broiler Ground System integrates an automatic feeder tray system alongside a state-of-the-art drinking water distribution network, ensuring consistent availability of feed and water crucial for optimal broiler growth. Designed to meet ISO 9001 and other global farming standards, the system emphasizes durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance—key factors in maintaining biosecurity on large poultry farms.
The automatic feeder tray mechanism adapts to varying feed types, ensuring minimal wastage while providing uniform distribution. Complementing this is the innovative nipple drinker system, which maintains clean water supply with reduced contamination risk. Together, these components form an integrated ground-level system tailored specifically for broiler chicken welfare and productivity.
Implementing the Livi system has demonstrated measurable benefits in multiple Tanzanian farms with capacities exceeding 20,000 broilers per cycle. These farms reported:
One prominent poultry operation in Arusha transitioned from conventional feeding methods to the Livi mechanical system in 2023. Within six months, their average weight gain per broiler improved by 8%, and overall production cycles shortened by nearly 5 days—boosting turnover frequency. Furthermore, the farm experienced fewer contamination incidents owing to the enclosed drinking system, reducing veterinary costs.
Managing large broiler flocks often entails difficulties related to feed wastage, water contamination, and labor-intensive maintenance. The Livi Mechanical Broiler Ground System offers practical solutions:
| Challenge | Livi System Solution |
|---|---|
| Feed wastage due to uneven distribution | Automated feeder trays with calibrated dispensing reduce overfeeding and waste |
| Water contamination from open troughs | Closed nipple drinkers prevent contamination and promote hygiene |
| High labor costs for feeding and cleaning | Integrated automated systems simplify daily tasks and cleaning processes |
Q1: How adaptable is the Livi system for different flock sizes?
A: The system is modular, capable of efficiently servicing farms ranging from 10,000 to over 50,000 broilers, allowing seamless scale adjustments without compromising performance.
Q2: What are the maintenance requirements?
A: Livi designs emphasize minimal maintenance with durable materials. Routine cleaning and scheduled inspections suffice, significantly reducing downtime.
Q3: Can this system improve bird welfare?
A: Absolutely. By providing evenly distributed feed and clean water access, stress and competition among birds are minimized, supporting healthier growth patterns.
