1. Why is a Fully Automated Cage System More Suitable for a 50,000-Layer Farm?
With the large-scale development of layer farming, 50,000 layers have become a common size for medium to large layer farms globally. Compared to semi-automated or manual farming models, the fully automated cage system offers significant advantages in the following aspects:
- Significantly reduces labor costs (can reduce labor by 50â70%)
- Improves egg production rate and egg consistency
- Reduces the risk of disease transmission
- Facilitates scale replication and long-term operation
2. Recommended Configuration Plan for a 50,000-Layer Farm (Core Systems)
- Type: H-type stacked layer cages (3â4 tiers)
- Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel wire (service life: 15â20 years)
- Cage density: Complies with international farming standards
- Advantages: Stable structure, easy to clean, suitable for automation integration
- Chain or spiral feeding
- Timed and measured feeding to ensure uniform feed distribution
- Reduces feed waste by 5â10%
- Nipple drinkers
- Constant water pressure, reduces contamination
- Suitable for high-density farming environments
- Conveyor belt egg collection
- Broken egg rate below 1%
- Can centralize eggs to grading/packaging area
- Manure belt removal
- Improves air quality in the chicken house
- Facilitates backend manure treatment or organic fertilizer utilization
- Negative pressure fans + wet curtain system
- Intelligent monitoring of temperature, humidity, and ammonia levels
- Significantly reduces heat stress risks

|---|
| Fully Automated Cage System | 180,000 â 250,000 |
| Chicken House Structure & Foundation | 80,000 â 120,000 |
| Ventilation & Climate Control System | 40,000 â 70,000 |
| Installation & Commissioning | 15,000 â 30,000 |
| Total Investment Reference | 315,000 â 470,000 |
â Actual prices depend on the country, configuration standards, automation level, and steel prices.
4. Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
Estimated under normal management conditions:
- Egg production rate: Around 90%
- Labor cost reduction: Over 50%
- Payback period: 2â3 years
The fully automated system is more suitable for long-term stable operation and expansion.
