Case Study: Ghana 80,000-Layer Farm with Full H-Type Cage & Automated Systems

Case Study: Ghana 80,000-Layer Farm with H-Type Layer Cage & Automated Systems

In this project, Zhengzhou Livi Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. delivered a turnkey solution for an 80,000-layer commercial farm in Ghana. The farm was equipped with four-tier H-type layer cages and full automation—covering feeding, drinking, manure removal, egg collection, climate control, and steel-structure housing—aimed at creating a high-efficiency, scalable, and smart layer farming operation.

Client Challenges

• Need for high stocking density: maximize layers per square meter without compromising comfort or production.
• Manual operations causing inefficiencies in feeding, drinking, waste removal, and egg collection.
• Maintaining favorable climate in Ghana’s hot, humid weather with limited cooling infrastructure.
• Scaling up from smaller operations to a commercial level with consistent quality and hygiene standards.

LIVI’s Engineered Solution

LIVI designed and delivered a holistic farm system combining equipment, layout design, and automation to address all the above challenges. Core components included:

Project Implementation

1. Site Assessment: soil condition, power supply stability, climate data collection, location planning.
2. Design & Layout: poultry house structure engineered to fit H-type cages, optimal orientation for shade and airflow.
3. Manufacture & Quality Control: each cage, belt, motor inspected for welding, zinc coating, mechanism functionality.
4. Packaging & Transportation: containerized shipment, labeling parts for ease of assembly on site.
5. Installation & Commissioning: LIVI’s technical team guided local crew, tested all automatic systems under full load.
6. Training & Operational Support: staff trained on feeding schedules, system controls, equipment maintenance, hygiene protocols.

Outcomes & Key Benefits

• Substantial increase in layer capacity per square meter due to the four-tier H-type cage layout.
• Reduced labor costs by automating feeding, drinking, egg collection, and manure removal routines.
• Improved egg quality and hygiene as manual handling reduced and environmental factors controlled.
• Stable temperature and humidity control mitigating heat stress—yielding more consistent laying rates.
• Faster startup thanks to detailed design, precise parts delivery, and efficient installation process.

Client Profile & Use Scenario

The client is a commercial poultry investor in Ghana aiming for high-volume egg production under modern, scalable standards. This farm is intended as a benchmark model, with potential expansion phases built into the initial design. Quality, throughput, and reproducibility are all high priorities.

The project suits clients who :

• Seek turnkey poultry farm solutions for large-scale operations.
• Require matching of cage systems to climate conditions in hot, humid regions.
• Want to shift from manual to automated systems to elevate productivity.
• Need design, execution, installation, and after-sales support under one provider.
