For commercial layer farms with over 10,000 hens, managing daily tasks like cleaning and feeding can quickly become overwhelming—especially during peak egg production or summer heatwaves. That’s where the H-type layer cage system from Zhengzhou Livewell Machinery meets its true potential: by integrating seamlessly with an automated manure removal solution, it slashes labor demands while boosting hen welfare and productivity.
✅ Key Benefit: Up to 80% reduction in manual labor costs
✅ Efficiency Boost: 15–20% increase in egg collection speed
✅ Long-Term Value: 10+ years of stable operation with corrosion-resistant materials
Most conventional flat-tier cages require workers to manually clean each level every 2–3 days—a time-consuming process that increases stress on both staff and birds. In hot seasons, this becomes even more problematic as ammonia buildup rises, directly affecting respiratory health and laying performance. Studies show that farms using outdated systems report up to 30% higher absenteeism among farmhands due to physical strain.
The innovative vertical stacking of H-type cages creates a smarter layout:
Feature | Traditional Flat Cage | H-Type Cage + Auto Manure System |
---|---|---|
Labor Required per Day | 4–6 hours | 0.5–1 hour |
Manure Cleaning Frequency | Every 2–3 days | Continuous, automatic |
Hen Stress Levels (Measured) | High (Ammonia > 20 ppm) | Low (Ammonia < 10 ppm) |
A case study from a 12,000-hen farm in Shandong Province showed that after switching to the H-type system with integrated automation, their daily labor dropped from 5 hours to just 45 minutes—and egg collection efficiency rose by 17%. More importantly, bird mortality rates fell by 12%, proving that better airflow and less handling lead to healthier flocks.
Our cages use hot-dip galvanized steel with aluminum-zinc alloy coating—tested to withstand 10+ years of continuous exposure to high humidity and organic acids without rusting. This isn’t just about durability—it’s about reducing long-term operational risk and ensuring consistent returns on your investment.
If you're running a large-scale layer farm and tired of burning out your team with repetitive, inefficient tasks, it’s time to rethink how you manage space, ventilation, and waste. The H-type cage system is not just a product—it’s a strategic upgrade for modern poultry operations.
