In recent years, Africa has emerged as one of the most dynamic regions for commercial poultry development. Uganda, in particular, has shown rapid growth in large-scale egg production, driven by increasing market demand and the need for efficient, automated poultry farming equipment. As a leading global manufacturer of layer cages and turnkey poultry solutions, LIVI Machinery successfully supported a Ugandan client in building a 60,000-bird commercial layer house using Automatic H Type Layer Battery Cages.
This case study presents how LIVI Machinery optimized farm performance with advanced poultry equipment, high-standard engineering design, and fully automated system integration.
Success Story: How LIVI Machinery Empowered a 60,000 Layer Poultry Farm in Uganda
The client, located near Kampala, aimed to expand their mid-sized poultry operation into a regional commercial egg supplier. Their primary challenges included:
- Limited labor resources
- High feed consumption in older A-frame cages
- Difficulty managing manure and disease outbreaks
- Low egg collection efficiency
- Frequent equipment breakdown from previous suppliers
To solve these issues, the client chose LIVI’s Automatic H Type Layer Battery Cages, specially designed for high-density, low-labor egg production—enabling a complete upgrade toward industrialized poultry farming.
Why H-Type Cages Were Ideal for the 60,000-Bird Uganda Project
- Maximum space utilization in limited land
- Automated egg collection, feeding, drinking, and manure cleaning
- Closed, hygienic housing suitable for hot African climates
- Higher egg-laying stability and reduced mortality
- Durable structure suitable for long-term operation
After thorough project analysis, LIVI Machinery produced a customized turnkey poultry solution, covering design, cage production, shipment, installation guide, and after-sales support.
