The expansive 50,000-layer poultry project in Cameroon stands as a testament to how tailored engineering combined with advanced materials can sustain and boost egg production efficiency in large-scale farming. Central to this achievement is the Livi customized cage system, crafted to meet rigorous international standards and designed explicitly to stabilize egg output while addressing environmental and operational challenges faced by modern poultry farmers.
The Livi cages utilize premium international Q235 steel – renowned for its excellent structural strength and durability – crucial for housing tens of thousands of layers without structural compromise. These steel components undergo a rigorous hot-dip galvanization process along with an aluminum-zinc alloy coating, offering outstanding corrosion resistance in humid tropical climates like Cameroon’s. This multi-layer protection ensures the cages maintain integrity and safety throughout the project's lifecycle, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and unexpected costs.
The H-shaped multi-layer cage configuration is a hallmark of the project’s engineering excellence. This design optimizes space utilization by increasing cage density while maintaining bird comfort and accessibility. It allows better airflow across layers, minimizing heat stress and airborne pathogens, both key factors in maintaining flock health and stable egg production rates. The adoption of this structural form showcased a remarkable 12% higher egg yield during comparative trials against traditional cage models.
Automation forms the backbone of operational efficiency in the Cameroon project. Livi’s custom cages integrate an automated egg collection conveyor system that minimizes manual handling, thereby reducing breakage and contamination risks. Complementing this is an advanced manure scraping and collection mechanism that ensures hygienic conditions vital for disease control and bird welfare. This synergy between automation and cage structure has led to a measured 18% reduction in labor costs and a 14% decrease in pathogen-related productivity losses.
Maintaining optimal environmental conditions directly correlates with egg production stability. The Livi cages incorporate strategically located ventilation modules and temperature control features to sustain ambient conditions within the ideal thermal comfort zone for layers. Such controls have consistently kept mortality rates below 2% and minimized stress-induced production drops through Cameroon’s fluctuating climate seasons.
Prior to the adoption of Livi custom cages, egg production in similar scale operations averaged approximately 73% hen-day production rates. Post-deployment, this project achieved an impressive sustained hen-day performance rate of 85% over 12 months, supported by consistent cage sanitation, reduced bird stress, and optimal living conditions. This productivity boost translates directly into enhanced profitability for farmers and greater market supply stability.
The Cameroon 50,000-layer project is an exemplar of Livi's commitment to delivering precision-engineered, high-performance solutions tailored to local agricultural environments. Collaboration with local farm managers and veterinarians ensured custom adaptations suited to regional challenges. The project outcomes have been shared widely in poultry industry forums, drawing attention from global investors and collaborators seeking scalable and reliable poultry infrastructure.
| Metric | Before Livi Cage | After Livi Cage |
|---|---|---|
| Hen-day Egg Production Rate | 73% | 85% |
| Mortality Rate | 6% | < 2% |
| Labor Costs Reduction | N/A | 18% |
For international poultry producers and project developers seeking a proven pathway to stable and enhanced egg production, Livi’s custom cage technology offers a compelling, scientifically-backed solution. Its synergistic fusion of premium materials, innovative design, and automation empowers farms to meet demanding production goals sustainably.
