Overcoming Traditional Challenges in Poultry Farming
Poultry farming in Zambia has long been hindered by common obstacles such as labor-intensive processes, inconsistent egg production, and sanitation difficulties. Many farms still rely on traditional methods, where manual feeding, egg collection, and waste removal consume substantial manpower and limit expansion capabilities. To address these challenges and boost overall efficiency, a leading Zambian poultry farm recently embraced an intelligent upgrade by deploying the High-Efficiency Type A Layer Battery Cage system from Zhengzhou Livi Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
The Type A Layer Battery Cage features a sturdy galvanized steel frame coated with high-quality materials to resist corrosion and wear in tropical climates. Designed with multiple tiers, this system accommodates up to 50,000 layers in a compact vertical footprint — ideal for farms aiming to maximize space utilization without compromising bird welfare. Each cage tier ensures adequate ventilation while providing a comfortable environment conducive to high egg production rates.
What truly sets this battery cage apart are its intelligent features that streamline core poultry management tasks. The integrated automatic feeding system delivers a precise nutrient mix at scheduled intervals, reducing feed wastage by approximately 15%. Waste management is revolutionized via an automatic manure conveyor that keeps cages clean and minimizes odor, enhancing bird health and reducing labor hours by nearly 40%. Additionally, the automated egg collection mechanism ensures eggs are gently transported to a centralized collection point, significantly lowering breakage rates by over 20%.
