The Challenges of Traditional Egg - Laying Hen Farming

In the large - scale egg - laying hen farming industry, high labor costs and low operational efficiency have long been pressing issues. According to industry data, traditional manual egg - collection and manure - cleaning operations can account for up to 40% of the total labor cost in a large - scale egg farm. Manual egg collection is not only time - consuming but also prone to egg breakage, with an average breakage rate of about 5%. Moreover, manual manure cleaning is a strenuous and unhygienic task, which can also lead to a delay in removing manure, increasing the risk of disease spread in the chicken coop.

Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery's Solution: The H - Type Laying Hen Cage with Automated Systems

Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery has introduced an efficient H - type laying hen cage, equipped with an intelligent automated egg - collection and manure - cleaning system. This system is a game - changer for large - scale egg farms, offering a solution to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Core Technologies and Operating Logic

The automated egg - collection system in the H - type cage uses a series of conveyor belts and sensors. Eggs roll onto the conveyor belt gently as hens lay them, and the sensors detect the eggs' presence and ensure they are transported to the collection point without damage. The automated manure - cleaning system, on the other hand, uses a scraping mechanism that moves regularly along the bottom of the cage to remove manure. This system can clean the manure in a timely manner, reducing the ammonia concentration in the chicken coop by up to 30%.

Configuration Suggestions for Different - scale Farms

For small - scale farms with about 10,000 - 20,000 hens, a basic configuration of the H - type cage with a single - lane egg - collection and manure - cleaning system can meet the needs. Medium - scale farms with 20,000 - 50,000 hens may need a multi - lane system to handle the larger egg - production volume. Large - scale farms with over 50,000 hens should consider a fully integrated system with multiple egg - collection and manure - cleaning modules. The following table provides a more detailed configuration guide:

System Maintenance and Staff Training

To ensure the long - term stable operation of the system, regular maintenance is essential. Common maintenance tasks include checking the conveyor belts for wear and tear, lubricating the moving parts of the scraping mechanism, and calibrating the sensors. As for common faults, issues such as conveyor belt jams or sensor malfunctions can be resolved by following a simple troubleshooting guide. For example, if the conveyor belt jams, the first step is to check for any foreign objects on the belt.

Proper staff training is also crucial. Staff should be trained on how to operate the system correctly, perform routine maintenance, and troubleshoot common problems. Zhengzhou Liwei Machinery provides comprehensive training programs for farm staff, which have been well - received by many farms. According to feedback from some farms, after staff training, the system's operation efficiency has increased by about 20%.
