In today’s competitive egg production market, rising labor costs and inconsistent yields are pushing large-scale poultry farmers toward intelligent solutions. According to the FAO 2023 Global Livestock Report, manual egg collection and waste management still account for up to 35% of total operational costs on traditional farms—especially in regions like Southeast Asia and Latin America where skilled labor is scarce.
“We reduced our daily labor by 4 people after installing automated systems—and our egg breakage rate dropped from 4.2% to under 1.5%.”
—— Mr. Li, Large-Scale Layer Farm Owner, Henan Province
Traditional cage systems often lead to inefficient space use, poor hygiene, and inconsistent egg quality. With automation, farms can achieve:
A successful transition starts with choosing the right equipment:
| System | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Egg Collection Belt | Continuous belt system moves eggs from nesting area to central sorting point | Reduces egg damage by 70%, eliminates manual picking errors |
| Mechanical Manure Removal | Automated scraper or conveyor removes droppings daily | Improves air quality, lowers ammonia levels by up to 60% |
| H-Type Cage Design | Vertical stacking with optimized feed/water access | Saves 25% floor space vs. flat-row cages; easier maintenance |
The H-type layer cage design from Zhengzhou Livi Machinery stands out—not just for its structural efficiency but also for its use of international-grade galvanized steel (ASTM A123 certified) and anti-corrosion powder coating that lasts over 10 years even in humid climates.
One case study from a 30,000-hen farm in Vietnam showed:
Maintenance tips matter too: regular checks on belt tension, lubrication of rollers, and cleaning of sensors ensure smooth operations. Most issues can be resolved in under 30 minutes with proper training—a service offered free of charge by Livi’s support team across 30+ countries.
