The global demand for poultry meat continues to surge as populations grow and consumer preferences shift toward affordable, high-protein food sources. According to industry data, global broiler meat production has reached over 130 million tons annually, positioning poultry as a key protein source worldwide.
However, in emerging markets like Kenya, challenges such as resource constraints, limited infrastructure, and high labor costs have hindered efficient broiler farming. In response, automated ground rearing systems have emerged as a promising solution to elevate productivity while maintaining animal welfare and cost-effectiveness.
A breakthrough example is a large-scale broiler farm in Kenya utilizing advanced ground rearing systems supplied by Zhengzhou Livi Machinery. This system supports a capacity of 20,000 chickens, integrating automatic pan feeding and state-of-the-art drinking systems that comply with international quality standards.
The Livi Machinery ground rearing system delivers multiple benefits that address core industry challenges:
Prior to adopting automation, the farm faced challenges including inconsistent feed distribution, high mortality rates near 10%, and labor-intensive management. Six months post-installation of Livi’s system, the farm reported:
| Metric | Before Automation | After Automation |
|---|---|---|
| Mortality Rate | ~10% | ~4% |
| Feed Conversion Ratio | 1.9 | 1.6 |
| Labor Hours Per Cycle | 800 hours | 350 hours |
These results demonstrate significant improvements in bird health, feed efficiency, and operational cost reduction, highlighting the system’s role in elevating farm profitability and sustainability.
The Kenyan broiler farm’s integration of Livi Machinery’s automated ground rearing system offers a replicable model for growing poultry sectors across similar emerging markets. By embracing automation that aligns with global quality benchmarks, producers can enhance efficiency, animal welfare, and economic returns in a highly competitive industry.
As global poultry production trends move toward automation and sustainability, investing in reliable, proven systems like those from Zhengzhou Livi Machinery positions farms for long-term success.
