Project Overview
Customer Background
Customer: Commercial Egg Producer
Location: Kenya
Farm Capacity: 30,000 Layers
The customer planned to establish a commercial egg production farm in Kenya and required a reliable layer cage solution that could maximize available poultry house space while reducing daily labor requirements.
Before selecting equipment, the customer mainly considered:
- How to manage 30,000 laying hens efficiently?
- How to reduce manual feeding and egg collection labor?
- How to maintain a clean environment during Kenya’s hot climate?
- How to build a scalable egg production system for future expansion?
Based on these requirements, Livi designed a complete 30,000-layer poultry farm solution with H Type Layer Cage System.
Farm Challenges in Kenya and Solution Considerations
1. Hot Climate and Temperature Management
Challenge:
Many regions in Kenya experience high temperatures, especially during dry seasons.
For commercial layer farms, excessive heat may cause:
- Reduced feed intake
- Lower egg production
- Increased bird stress
- Higher mortality risk
Livi Solution:
The project integrates:
- Proper ventilation system
- Optimized cage layout
- Suitable stocking density design
The H Type cage structure improves air circulation between cage tiers and helps maintain a better poultry house environment.
2. Labor Cost and Farm Management Efficiency
Challenge:
Managing 30,000 layers manually requires significant labor for:
- Feeding
- Egg collection
- Manure cleaning
- Daily inspection
Manual operation may lead to:
- Higher labor costs
- Uneven feeding
- Lower management efficiency
Livi Solution:
The farm uses automatic equipment including:
- Automatic feeding system
- Automatic egg collection system
- Manure belt removal system
This reduces repetitive manual work and improves daily farm management efficiency.
3. Manure Management Under Local Conditions
Challenge:
Large-scale layer farms generate significant manure volume.
Poor manure management may cause:
- Odor problems
- High humidity
- Disease risks
- Difficult cleaning operations
Livi Solution:
The project adopts:
Manure Belt Removal System
Benefits:
- Regular manure removal
- Cleaner poultry house environment
- Reduced ammonia accumulation
- Easier manure handling
Complete Equipment Configuration
For this 30,000-layer poultry farm in Kenya, Livi designed a 96m ×16m ×5m poultry house using 1800×600×430mm 4-tier H Type Layer Cage System. The farm layout includes 5 cage rows with approximately 250 cage sections, integrated with automatic feeding, drinking, egg collection, manure removal and ventilation systems to improve commercial egg production efficiency.
