The Application of Automated Egg Collection and Manure Cleaning Systems in Large-Scale Farms: Insights and Real-World Cases

In large-scale poultry farms, traditional manual egg collection and manure cleaning methods are fraught with challenges. The labor intensity is extremely high, with workers having to spend long hours in the chicken coops, collecting eggs and cleaning manure day in and day out. Moreover, these manual operations pose significant health risks. Manure contains a large number of pathogens, and poor ventilation in the coops can lead to the spread of diseases, threatening both the health of the chickens and the workers. For example, in a traditional farm with 10,000 chickens, workers may need to spend 8 - 10 hours a day on these tasks, and the incidence of diseases due to poor sanitation can reach up to 15%.

The Structural Principle of the H-Type Laying Hen Cage Automated System

The H-type laying hen cage automated system is a revolutionary solution to these problems. Its unique structure and intelligent design ensure efficient and hygienic operation. The egg slide angle design is a key feature. Eggs laid by hens can smoothly roll onto the egg collection line, reducing the risk of damage. The angle is carefully calculated to ensure that eggs roll at an appropriate speed, usually between 10 - 15 degrees. The timed manure cleaning mechanism ensures that manure is removed regularly, maintaining a clean environment in the cage. This mechanism can be set according to the chicken population, typically cleaning once every 2 - 3 hours. Additionally, the system is linked with ventilation and temperature control, ensuring a comfortable living environment for the chickens.

Modular Configuration Recommendations Based on Chicken Population

For different chicken population sizes, from 5,000 to 30,000 chickens, modular configuration is recommended. For a farm with 5,000 - 10,000 chickens, a shorter egg collection line of about 20 - 30 meters may be sufficient, and the manure cleaning frequency can be set at 3 - 4 times a day. As the chicken population increases to 10,000 - 20,000, the egg collection line should be extended to 30 - 50 meters, and the manure cleaning frequency can be increased to 4 - 5 times a day. For farms with 20,000 - 30,000 chickens, an egg collection line of 50 - 70 meters and a manure cleaning frequency of 5 - 6 times a day are recommended.

Common Fault Troubleshooting

Although the H-type laying hen cage automated system is highly reliable, some common faults may occur. One of the most common problems is egg jams. This can be caused by various factors, such as improper egg slide angle, foreign objects in the egg collection line, or abnormal egg sizes. To solve this problem, a detailed troubleshooting list is provided. First, check the egg slide angle and adjust it if necessary. Then, clean the egg collection line to remove any foreign objects. If the problem persists, check the egg sizes and take appropriate measures, such as culling hens that lay abnormal eggs. Another common problem is blockages in the manure cleaning system. This can be resolved by following a specific cleaning procedure, which includes shutting down the system, removing the blockage manually, and then restarting the system.

Employee Training for System Operation

To ensure the long-term stable operation of the system, it is essential to provide employees with basic skills training. A comprehensive training package including video and图文 tutorials is available. These tutorials cover all aspects of the system, from the basic operation to fault troubleshooting. Employees can access these tutorials anytime and anywhere, allowing them to learn at their own pace. By providing this training, the system can be operated more efficiently, and the incidence of faults can be significantly reduced.
