2025-12-01

A large commercial poultry farm in South Africa recently adopted LIVI’s fully automated H-type layer battery cage systems to expand its production capacity to 70,000 laying hens. The farm required a solution that could maximize space, ensure stable egg output, and reduce daily labor, and the H-type cages proved to be the ideal fit.

The installed system includes high-density H-type cages, automatic feeding and drinking lines, automated manure removal, and a smart ventilation environment control system, creating a modern, efficient, and biosecure layer house.

Why South African Farms Choose H-Type Layer Cages

H-type layer battery cages are increasingly popular in South Africa due to their ability to support large-scale, intensive egg production.

Key advantages include:

• High-density capacity for 70,000 birds within limited land
• Automatic feeding, drinking, egg collection, and waste removal
• Better disease control with minimal bird contact
• Durable hot-dip galvanized structure suitable for humid or hot climates
• Lower labor costs and higher egg production efficiency

For large-scale producers, this system improves both operational stability and long-term profitability.
