Client Background – Starting a 30,000-Bird Layer Farm in Zimbabwe

After evaluating several suppliers, the customer selected LIVI H type layer cages because of:

  • Direct factory pricing
  • Worldwide installation experience
  • Customizable designs
  • Full automatic system options
  • Strong after-sales support
