LIVI Machinery continues to support African poultry farmers with reliable, automated, and long-lasting cage systems tailored for local conditions. This article presents a detailed case study of how a Ugandan poultry farm successfully raised 20,000 layers using our A type layer chicken cages, achieving stable production, better hygiene, and significantly reduced labor costs.
With more than 13 years of manufacturing experience and projects across 80+ countries, LIVI provides a complete equipment solution designed for modern, scalable egg production.
Client Background – Building a Medium-Scale 20,000-Layer Farm in Uganda
The client, located near Kampala, planned to expand from a small backyard operation to a commercial poultry farm. Their main challenges included:
- Limited land area for expansion
- High feed costs and inefficient manual feeding
- Frequent disease outbreaks
- Inconsistent egg production
- Need for a system suitable for Uganda’s warm, humid climate
After comparing suppliers from China, India, and Turkey, the customer chose LIVI A type layer cages based on:
- Factory-direct pricing
- Strong structure and long service life
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Proven success in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda
- Complete automation options adapted to local electricity conditions

Why Choose A Type Layer Cages for 20000 Birds in Uganda
A type cages are popular for medium-scale farms (5,000–30,000 birds) due to their simple structure, easy management, and cost-effective automation options.
Core Advantages of LIVI A-Type Layer Cages
- Large space and comfortable design, reducing stress
- Hot-dip galvanized steel, resisting corrosion in humid environments
- Smooth egg-collection slope minimizing egg breakage
- Flexible automation modules (auto feeding, drinking, manure removal)
- Low investment, fast return
- Easy ventilation suitable for Uganda’s warm temperatures
These advantages make A type cages ideal for farmers upgrading from deep-litter systems.
