Country:

Botswana, a key poultry farming market in Southern Africa facing hot climate and intensive management challenges for commercial layer operations.

Scale:

A medium-scale commercial egg farm with a fixed stocking capacity of 20,000 laying hens, aiming for stable egg output and low operational costs.

Pain Points:

Before adopting Livi’s solutions, the farm relied on traditional free-range and loose housing, leading to 18% higher broken egg rate, 25% more feed waste, frequent heat stress-related egg production drops, and hard-to-control biosecurity risks with frequent flock diseases. Manual feeding, egg collection and manure cleaning took 8+ labor hours daily, pushing up overall operating costs.

Solutions from Livi Machinery:

Livi provided a full set of A-type layer chicken cage system tailored for 20,000 layers, paired with semi-automatic feeding, belt manure removal and centralized egg collection accessories. The A-type cage design optimizes ventilation for Botswana’s hot climate, improves space utilization by 40%, and realizes standardized breeding management. The durable galvanized cage structure ensures long service life, fitting local harsh breeding environments.

Final Results:

Post-installation, broken egg rate dropped to below 3%, feed conversion ratio improved by 22%, daily labor input cut by 70% to only 2.5 hours. Egg production rate stabilized at 92%-94%, monthly egg output increased by 28%, and disease incidence reduced by 65%. The farm achieved cost reduction and efficiency growth rapidly, proving Livi’s A-type layer cages as a reliable solution for African commercial layer farms.

If you’re running a commercial layer farm in Botswana or other African regions, facing similar efficiency and cost challenges, Livi Machinery’s A-type layer cage system can tailor the most suitable solution for your scale, helping you achieve stable output and higher profits.
