South Sudan, a country known for its agricultural potential, is witnessing a surge in the poultry industry. As the demand for chicken meat increases, so does the need for efficient and scalable farming solutions. One such solution is the installation of a broiler cage system capable of housing up to 20,000 chickens. In this article, we will explore the key aspects of setting up a broiler cage for such a large scale operation, and how Livi Machinery can assist you in achieving this goal.

Understanding Broiler Cages

Broiler cages are designed to provide a controlled environment for chickens to grow and thrive. These cages are typically made of metal and are equipped with features like feeders, waterers, and ventilation systems. The design of the cage is crucial for the health and well-being of the chickens, as well as for the efficiency of the farming operation.

Designing a Broiler Cage for 20,000 Chickens

When planning a broiler cage system for 20,000 chickens, several factors must be considered:

• Space: Ensure each chicken has adequate space to move around, which is typically around 0.5 square feet per bird.
• Airflow: Proper ventilation is essential to maintain a healthy environment. The system should be designed to provide fresh air and remove excess heat and ammonia.
• Feeding and Watering: Automated feeders and waterers can help in maintaining consistent nutrition and hydration for the chickens.
• Health Monitoring: Incorporate systems for monitoring the health of the chickens, such as temperature and humidity sensors.
