Country: Nigeria
We are delighted to announce the successful completion of a layer poultry farming project in Nigeria, where we installed our classic A-type step-layer battery cages. This project was designed to meet the needs of local small and medium-scale farmers who are looking for a cost-effective yet reliable solution to improve egg production efficiency. Nigeria, being the most populous country in Africa, has seen rapidly growing demand for affordable protein sources, and commercial egg production is one of the fastest-growing agricultural sectors in the country.
Before choosing our equipment, the customer had been running a traditional open-sided poultry house with floor-raised birds for over five years. However, frequent disease outbreaks, high labor costs for egg collection, and low production density were eating into his profits. After conducting thorough market research and visiting our factory exhibition hall via video call, he decided to upgrade to our A-type cage system, which offers the perfect balance between investment cost and return on investment.
The A-type cage system features a layered design that allows maximum space utilization while ensuring comfortable living conditions for the layers. Each cage measures 2000mm in length and can house up to 9 birds comfortably, with a feeding trough along the front and a sloped egg-laying board that guides eggs gently onto the collection conveyor. Equipped with automatic drinking nipples and egg collection troughs, the system significantly reduces labor costs and minimizes egg breakage rates to below 1%, compared to the 5-8% typical of traditional floor systems. The hot-dip galvanized steel construction ensures durability against the hot and humid climate typical of West Africa, with an expected service life of over 15 years.
Our customer, based in Ogun State, chose this model after comparing multiple options from both local and international suppliers, and was particularly impressed by the easy maintenance and quick installation process. Within just three days, our on-site technical team completed the setup and provided comprehensive training to the farm staff on daily operation, routine inspection, and basic troubleshooting. We also supplied a full set of spare parts, including drinking nipples, feed trough guards, and cage doors, to ensure the farm can handle minor repairs without waiting for international shipments.
The farm is now operating at full capacity, with healthy layers and steadily increasing egg output. In the first month alone, the customer reported a 25% increase in egg collection compared to his previous floor system, with dramatically lower mortality rates. He has already placed a second order for an additional 10,000-bird expansion and plans to introduce automatic feeding and manure removal equipment in the near future. This project represents our growing partnership with Nigerian farmers who are embracing modern, efficient poultry production methods.
