For large-scale layer farms struggling with rising labor costs and inefficient operations, automated manure removal systems—like those integrated into Zhengzhou Livi Machinery’s H-type multi-tier egg hen cages—are no longer optional. They’re essential for reducing human intervention by up to 60% while boosting productivity and hygiene.
In traditional setups, farm workers spend 2–3 hours daily collecting eggs manually and cleaning waste. This not only increases fatigue but also introduces contamination risks—especially in high-density flocks. According to a 2023 study by the International Poultry Association, manual systems result in 12% higher egg breakage rates due to handling stress and inconsistent timing.
Expert Tip: “Let every chicken lay efficiently—not every worker pick eggs.” — Dr. Sarah Lin, Animal Welfare Engineer at AgriTech Solutions
The H-type cage uses gravity-assisted egg slide angles (typically 18°–22°) to guide eggs smoothly onto conveyor belts without impact. Coupled with timed mechanical scrapers and ventilation联动 (linked temperature control), it ensures consistent airflow and reduces ammonia levels by over 40%. For farms with 5,000–30,000 hens, we recommend modular configurations based on flock density:
| Flock Size | Recommended Module | Clearing Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 5K–10K | Single-row conveyor + basic scraper | Every 4 hrs |
| 10K–20K | Dual-row system with smart sensors | Every 2 hrs |
| 20K–30K | Fully automated belt + remote monitoring | Continuous mode |
Even the best systems can face issues. Here’s how to diagnose them fast:
Real Farm Feedback: “After installing the H-type system, our team saved 4 hours/day—and egg quality improved noticeably.” — Ahmed Khalifa, Owner, Al-Azhar Poultry Farm, UAE
Training your staff isn’t just helpful—it’s critical. Create a simple video+image guidebook for daily checks and standardized operation procedures (SOPs). One farm in Kenya saw a 35% drop in breakdowns after implementing this practice.
