The poultry industry in West Africa is rapidly modernizing as investors shift toward automated systems that improve efficiency, egg yield, and biosecurity. This case study highlights how LIVI Machinery successfully implemented a full 60000 layers automatic chicken battery cages project using H-type fully automated layer cage systems for a commercial farm in Ghana.
With over 13 years of equipment manufacturing expertise and projects across 80+ countries and 1000+ global farms, LIVI Machinery delivered a turnkey poultry solution that enabled the client to build a highly productive, labor-saving, and internationally standardized egg production facility.
Success Story: LIVI Machinery Empowers Poultry Farms in Ghana
The Ghanaian client, a leading agribusiness investor in the Greater Accra Region, sought to upgrade his semi-manual facility to a modern, large-scale production house. The target was clear: establish a fully automated layer operation capable of stable output and consistent supply to regional wholesale markets.
After assessing multiple suppliers from Europe, China, and the Middle East, the client selected LIVI Machinery due to its strong reputation in Africa, competitive technology, and long-term after-sales support. The chosen solution centered on high-density H-type modern layer farming cages in Ghana, designed specifically for intensive commercial farming.
Client’s Core Requirements
- Build a standardized layer unit for 60,000 commercial layers
- Reduce dependence on manual labor using automation
- Improve egg production stability for competitive market supply
- Ensure durability suitable for Ghana’s high-humidity coastal climate
- Integrate chick-rearing cages for smooth transition to laying stage
LIVI Machinery delivered a comprehensive equipment package including cages, automatic feeding, manure cleaning, drinking lines, egg collection, and environmental control systems.
H Type Layer Battery Cages In Ghana
Egg Layer Cage Case Study: H-Type Efficiency & High-Density Production
The core equipment adopted for this project was the multi-tier H-type fully automatic chicken battery cages, optimized for farmers who require maximum space utilization and high production per square meter. These systems are suitable for large-scale poultry farms in Ghana with limited land area but high capacity goals.
Installed Equipment Package
- H-type automatic layer cage system for 60,000 layers
- Chick-rearing cages for pullet management
- Automatic feeding system with traveling trough feeder
- Nipple drinking lines with medicator compatibility
- Automated manure removal conveyor system
- Centralized egg collection unit
- Ventilation, cooling pads, and control panels
The H-type configuration provided superior stocking density, cleaner manure disposal, and more uniform ventilation airflow, ensuring optimal bird health and production.

Project Execution Process
Farm Planning & Design Development
Based on the client’s land and house dimensions, LIVI’s engineering team developed a farm layout tailored for:
- Efficient space use with H-type cages
- Precise ventilation modeling based on Ghana’s climate
- Optimized internal traffic flow for feed transport
- Future expansion to 100,000+ layers
The final design ensured balanced airflow, stable temperature distribution, and easy access to equipment for maintenance.
Production & Manufacturing
All cages and parts were manufactured in LIVI’s automated production facility using:
- Hot-dip galvanized steel
- High-precision welding equipment
- Anti-corrosion coating suitable for coastal climates
- Reinforced structural design for long-term load-bearing
Strict quality control was applied before container loading.
Shipment & On-Site Installation Support
Equipment was shipped in two 40HQ containers to Tema Port, Ghana. LIVI provided:
- Full installation drawings
- Step-by-step video guidance
- Remote technical assistance
- Optional on-site technician support
The client’s installation team completed the setup within 35 days.
Commissioning & Production Optimization
LIVI specialists supported the farm during the pre-laying phase by offering:
- Feeding curve optimization
- Lighting schedules
- Disease prevention recommendations
- Egg collection system calibration
Project Performance: Data and Results From the Ghana Farm
Within the first production cycle, the farm achieved promising performance metrics that exceeded the client’s original expectations.
Major Performance Results
- Daily egg output: 48,000–52,000 eggs
- Feed conversion improvement: 10–14% better than the prior semi-manual system
- Labor requirement reduction: over 70% due to full automation
- Manure handling efficiency: 90% cleaner environment, reduced ammonia concentration
- Mortality rate: sustained at low commercial levels
The farm now supplies wholesalers in Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast with consistent weekly egg volumes, strengthening its market presence.

| Feed Efficiency | High (8–12% savings) | Moderate |
| Egg Breakage Rate | Very low due to conveyor collection | High due to manual handling |
| Hygiene Level | Clean, automated manure removal | Low; difficult manual waste removal |
| Service Life | 15–20 years | 5–8 years |
| Energy Efficiency | Controlled ventilation reduces stress | No control; higher mortality risk |
| Overall Profitability | High | Moderate to low |
The data demonstrates why more Ghanaian farmers are shifting to modern automated systems to ensure stable and scalable production.
