Across Ethiopia, small-scale family poultry farmers have struggled with low productivity, unpredictable egg quality, and challenges in maintaining the health of their layer hens. Traditional open-range or ground-level coop systems often limit the birds’ welfare and increase vulnerability to disease, leading to reduced egg yields and inconsistent income for households reliant on poultry farming.
\n\nThese farmers face acute difficulties optimizing space and managing labor costs, often lacking access to durable infrastructure tailored for local climate and cultural conditions. As a result, many small poultry farmers feel trapped in a cycle of low efficiency and uncertain returns.
\n\nLivi Machinery introduces its high-efficiency H-type layer chicken cage designed specifically to meet the requirements of small-scale and family poultry farmers in Ethiopia. Customized to flexibly accommodate varied flock sizes, these cages offer a practical capacity that supports both backyard and semi-commercial scale operations — empowering farmers to scale gradually without substantial infrastructure overhead.
\n\nFeature | \nBenefit | \n
---|---|
Robust Steel Material with Special Coating | \nEnhanced durability against rust and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring longevity | \n
H-Type Multi-Layer Structure | \nOptimal space utilization within limited area footprint, increasing bird capacity by up to 40% | \n
Integrated Automatic Feeding and Egg Collection System | \nReduced labor input by 35%, lowering operational costs and minimizing management errors | \n
Ventilation and Temperature Control Features | \nImproved hen comfort and health, resulting in egg production improvements up to 20% | \n
Farmers in the Oromia region who adopted the H-type layer cages reported significant improvements within their first six months of use. One poultry farmer, Amanuel Tesfaye, reflects:
\n\n\n\"Since switching to Livi’s H-type cages, my hens are healthier, and I have increased my egg production from around 120 eggs per month to nearly 150. The automated system also frees me from daily manual chores, giving me more time to focus on other farm tasks.\" \n\n\n
Data collected across 50 farms using these cages showed an average 18% increase in egg yield and a 25% decrease in mortality rates compared to traditional systems. These promising statistics underscore the cages’ effectiveness in supporting sustainable smallholder poultry farming in Ethiopia’s unique farming conditions.
\n\nUnderstanding local traditions and the climatic variability of Ethiopia, Livi’s H-type cages incorporate robust weather-resistant features and flexible design options. The modular system allows easy assembly adapted to traditional farm layouts without disrupting established poultry care routines.
\n\nFarmers appreciate that the cages neither require drastic changes to their existing farming practices nor impose prohibitive costs. Instead, these cages serve as a reliable stepping stone toward modernizing livestock management while honoring cultural farming values.
\n\nThe high-efficiency H-type layer chicken cage by Livi Machinery is more than just equipment; it is a catalyst for transforming small-scale poultry farming in Ethiopia. By improving productivity, animal welfare, and labor efficiency without compromising traditional values, it represents a holistic solution for family farmers striving for better livelihoods.
