Why Your Chicken Farm Is Losing Money — And How Automation Fixes It

You’re not alone if you’ve been staring at empty labor slots in your barn and wondering how to keep up with production without hiring more workers. In fact, over 70% of small-to-mid-sized poultry farms in China report staffing shortages as their top operational challenge—and it’s costing them 15–25% in lost egg yield each year.

That’s where the H-type Automated Layer Cage System by Zhengzhou Livvi Machinery comes in—not just a product, but a complete solution for smarter, more efficient farming.

Three Wins in One: Save Labor, Boost Output, Reduce Disease Risk

The magic isn’t in one feature—it’s in how all three systems work together:

• Auto Feeding: Adjusts feed delivery based on flock size and time of day—no more overfeeding or wasted grain.
• Automatic Egg Collection: Collects eggs every 4–6 hours (vs. manual checks every 12+), reducing breakage by up to 30%.
• Integrated Manure Removal: Keeps litter dry and clean—cutting ammonia levels by 40%, which directly improves bird health.

“Before I installed the H-type system, I needed 3 full-time workers just to manage feeding, collecting eggs, and cleaning. Now, one person can handle two farms. My hens are healthier, and my daily egg output has increased by 18%.”

And here’s what makes this especially powerful during summer months:

If you're still using old methods, consider this: automation doesn’t mean losing control—it means gaining precision. You’ll know exactly when to adjust feed amounts, how often to collect eggs, and whether temperature settings need fine-tuning. No guesswork. Just data-driven decisions that boost both welfare and profit.

A Quick Self-Check Tool for Every Farmer

Download our free “Weekly Efficiency Audit Checklist”—a simple 5-point guide to assess your current setup:

1. How many hours per week do you spend manually feeding or collecting eggs?
2. Do you track egg quality metrics like shell strength or cleanliness?
3. Is there visible dust or ammonia smell in your coop?
4. Have you seen a drop in egg production over the past 3 months?
5. Are your workers complaining about fatigue or repetitive strain?

Answering “yes” to any of these? That’s your signal to upgrade.

And yes—it’s not just for large operations. The H-type cage is scalable, easy to install, and meets international standards including ISO 9001 and CE certification. We’ve helped farmers in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Kenya adopt this system successfully—with average ROI within 8 months.
