Explore how LIVI Machinery helped a Colombian poultry farmer raise 50,000 layers with a fully automated H Type Chicken Battery Cage System. Learn about equipment setup, performance, and how automation improves egg production.
1. Introduction — Transforming Poultry Farming in Colombia
Colombia’s poultry industry has experienced rapid modernization in recent years.
To meet rising consumer demand for fresh eggs, farmers are shifting from traditional open-floor houses to automated layer cage systems that deliver higher efficiency and productivity.
LIVI Machinery, a global leader in automated poultry equipment manufacturing, partnered with a Colombian poultry farm to build a 50000 layers H Type Chicken Battery Cage project — a model farm that now sets the standard for automation and sustainability in South America.
With advanced engineering, precision manufacturing, and a customer-first philosophy, LIVI Machinery continues to empower poultry farmers across 80+ countries.
2. Project Background — Modern Poultry Investment in Colombia
The client, located near Medellín, Colombia, had been managing around 20,000 layers using manual systems.
However, labor costs, feed waste, and disease control became major concerns as production scaled up.
After multiple consultations and on-site discussions, the client decided to invest in a complete 50,000-layer poultry farm, adopting LIVI’s H Type Layer Chicken Battery Cage System with full automation.
Project Summary:
- Location: Medellín, Colombia
- Capacity: 50,000 layers
- Cage Type: H Type, 4-Tier Design
- Poultry House Size: 85m × 16m × 4.5m
- Goal: Increase egg output, improve hygiene, and reduce manual labor

The 50000 layers battery cage system in Colombia was designed to handle local temperature variations and ensure constant productivity year-round.
4. From Blueprint to Reality — How LIVI Made It Happen
Step 1: Customized Design
LIVI engineers first evaluated the customer’s land, climate, and infrastructure.
Using 3D farm design software, they created a comprehensive poultry house layout, optimizing for airflow, light, and bird density.
Step 2: Manufacturing & Quality Control
All cages and accessories were manufactured in LIVI’s ISO-certified factory using hot-dip galvanization to ensure long-term durability and anti-rust performance — critical for Colombia’s humid regions.
Step 3: Shipment & Logistics
The entire set of equipment was packed into containers with protective steel frames.
LIVI’s logistics department managed international shipping to Cartagena Port and then coordinated inland transport to Medellín.
Step 4: Installation & Training
LIVI technicians traveled to Colombia to supervise installation, guiding local workers step by step.
In just 50 days, the fully automated poultry house was operational.
5. Results — A Smart Poultry Farm Built for the Future
After three months of operation, the Colombian farm achieved remarkable improvements.
| Metric | Before LIVI System | After Installation | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg Production Rate | 73% | 96% | +23% increase |
| Feed Conversion Ratio | 2.4:1 | 1.8:1 | +25% efficiency |
| Labor Requirement | 8 workers | 3 workers | -62% cost reduction |
| Mortality Rate | 4.8% | 1.9% | -60% improvement |
| ROI Period | N/A | ~14 months | Rapid payback |
The automated layer cage system allowed the farmer to focus on management and biosecurity instead of daily manual labor.
Egg quality improved significantly, with fewer cracked shells and consistent sizes, ideal for commercial distribution.
