In the evolving landscape of poultry farming in Kenya, scaling broiler chicken production with efficiency and cost-effectiveness remains a critical challenge. Recently, a major poultry farm in Kenya embarked on raising 30,000 broiler chickens, seeking a reliable and advanced farming infrastructure to meet both local demand and export ambitions. This case highlights how Zhengzhou Livi Machinery became an essential partner, delivering top-tier H-type broiler chicken battery cages and comprehensive services that transformed the client’s operations—a story that resonates with global poultry producers aiming to boost productivity and cut operational costs.
The Kenyan farm approached Zhengzhou Livi Machinery with a clear yet ambitious goal: sustainably manage and optimize a population of 30,000 broiler chickens. The client required equipment that would maximize space utilization, ensure animal welfare, minimize labor input, and guarantee easy maintenance. Past experiences with conventional housing methods resulted in uneven growth rates and high mortality due to poor ventilation and hygiene failures.
Critical parameters included optimized feed conversion ratio (FCR), high stocking density without compromising bird health, and equipment resilient enough for Kenya’s tropical climate. The farm’s management also emphasized the importance of getting a turnkey solution—from cage design to logistics and installation.
Zhengzhou Livi Machinery’s team promptly proposed the state-of-the-art H-type broiler chicken battery cage system specifically engineered for large-scale commercial farms. Featuring stainless steel mesh floors and galvanized steel frames, the cages promote superior ventilation, waste separation, and easy cleaning. Each cage accommodates uniform bird density that encourages faster growth and reduced stress.
Key technical advantages included:
Beyond supplying cages, Zhengzhou Livi Machinery differentiated itself through a full-service approach. From initial consultation, 3D design drafting, to production and logistics coordination, every step was executed with meticulous attention to detail.
The farm’s project manager shared, “Zhengzhou Livi Machinery’s personalized approach was transformative. Their remote guidance and local partners in Kenya ensured on-time delivery and smooth installation. This reduced downtime and enabled us to begin our growth cycles without delay.”
In total, the project timeline from contract signing to farm readiness was just under three months—significantly faster than the client’s prior experiences with other suppliers.
After six months of operation, the Kenyan farm reported remarkable improvements:
Metric | Before Livi Machinery | After Livi Machinery Installation |
---|---|---|
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) | 1.85 | 1.65 |
Mortality Rate | 8% | 3.5% |
Labor Hours per 1,000 Birds | 12 | 7 |
These performance gains translated into lower feed costs and reduced manpower needs, sharply cutting operational costs while maintaining poultry health and wellbeing.
“Our collaboration with Zhengzhou Livi Machinery has exceeded expectations. Their H-type battery cage system provides the optimal environment for our broiler chickens, driving growth rates we've never seen before. Coupled with their attentive support and end-to-end service, they’ve become a trusted partner in our growth journey.”
