Poultry farming in Uganda is undergoing a quiet revolution, driven by advanced chicken layer equipment like A-Type poultry cages. For farmers aiming to scale operations—such as housing 20,000+ chickens—these systems blend efficiency, affordability, and sustainability. In this article, we explore the price dynamics of A-Type poultry layer cages in Uganda, dissect a real-world success story by Livi Machinery, and reveal why modernizing your farm with these cages is a game-changer.
Why A-Type Cages Are Transforming Ugandan Poultry Farms
Uganda’s poultry sector is booming, with egg demand rising by 8% annually (FAO 2023). Traditional free-range systems struggle to meet this growth, but A-Type layer cages offer a smarter alternative. Designed for vertical stacking, these cages optimize space—a critical factor for farms like the 105m x 12m x 4m coop described here. With 141 sets of A-Type cage sets, farmers can house 22,560 hens efficiently, ensuring better flock management and higher yields.
Key Innovations in A-Type Cages:
- Modular Design: Easily scales to match farm size.
- Climate Resilience: Open-air Uganda-compatible ventilation reduces heat stress.
- Automated Features: Integrated feeders, waterers, and egg collection belts cut labor costs by 40%.

Breaking Down A-Type Poultry Layer Cage Prices in Uganda
Investing in chicken layer equipment is a strategic decision. For a 20,000-hen operation, costs depend on:
- Cage Material: Galvanized steel cages (common in Uganda) resist rust and last 10+ years.
- Automation Level: Semi-automated systems (e.g., manual egg collection) cost 15–20% less than full automation.
- Supplier Expertise: Local support ensures smooth installation and maintenance.
While exact poultry layer cage prices vary, a 141-set A-Type system for 22,560 hens typically ranges between 28,000–28,000–35,000, including delivery and setup. This investment pays off within 18–24 months through:
- 20–30% higher egg production (due to reduced stress and disease).
- Lower feed waste (controlled portioning via troughs).
- Reduced labor dependency (1 worker can manage 5,000 hens vs. 1,500 in traditional setups).
Case Study: Livi Machinery’s Ugandan Success
In 2024, Livi Machinery partnered with a Kampala-based farmer to transform a 105m x 12m poultry house. The project included:
- 141 sets of A-Type layer cages (housing 22,560 hens).
- 10,000 reusable egg trays (cutting plastic waste by 60%).
- Training on cage maintenance and biosecurity.
Results After 6 Months:
- Egg production surged from 82% to 93% daily.
- Mortality rates dropped by 11% (better ventilation and hygiene).
- ROI achieved in 14 months—faster than projected.
