In today’s poultry industry, rising labor costs and increasing management complexities are formidable challenges. Many farms struggle to maintain profitability due to inefficient manual labor and outdated equipment. Fortunately, automated chicken farming systems, such as the advanced H-type layer hen cages developed by Zhengzhou Livi Machinery, offer a breakthrough solution to these problems.
This guide will walk you through the essential steps to operate and maintain automated poultry equipment effectively, enabling you to maximize productivity, minimize downtime, and enhance overall flock health.
The heart of the Zhengzhou Livi H-type cage system is its fully automated egg collection and manure removal modules. The egg collection conveyor belt automatically transports eggs to a central collection point, significantly reducing breakage and labor intensity. Meanwhile, the manure belts beneath the cage layer enable continuous waste removal, maintaining cleaner housing conditions and improving bird welfare.

Common Faults & Troubleshooting:
The unique H-shaped structure of the Zhengzhou Livi layer cages facilitates vertical space optimization and precise control of bird density. Proper planning of cage layout directly impacts airflow, lighting uniformity, and access for daily operations.
| Farm Size | Number of Cages | Recommended Layout | Estimated Output Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (up to 1,000 chickens) | 10-15 cages (3 tiers) | Compact rows with aisle space for machine maintenance | Up to 15% higher egg collection efficiency |
| Medium (1,000 to 5,000 chickens) | 50-70 cages (4 tiers) | Zoned sections with dedicated egg collection lanes | Efficiency increases of 20-25% |
| Large (5,000+ chickens) | 200+ cages (5 tiers or more) | Automated feeding and watering integration with spatial ventilation planning | 30%+ improvements in operational efficiency |
Regular inspection is critical to ensure continuous high performance and avoid unexpected breakdowns. Focus on these key components:
Pro Tip:
Keep a detailed log of inspections and maintenance activities. Studies show that farms maintaining consistent equipment records reduce mechanical downtime by up to 40%.
A mid-sized poultry farm in Henan Province upgraded to Zhengzhou Livi’s H-type automated layer cages in 2022. Prior to installation, manual egg collection and cleaning required 12 workers daily, leaving room for errors and missed eggs.
Post-implementation, the farm reported:
The Zhengzhou Livi H-type automated layer cage system is designed for ease of use, flexible scalability, and reliable long-term performance. It not only helps you tackle labor shortages and reduce operational costs but also boosts egg production quality and animal welfare.
With proven case studies delivering efficiency gains exceeding 25%, it represents a smart investment in modern poultry farming.
