135 Sets of A-type Layer Cages Shipped to Ghana
Author: liviTime: 2026/09/03
LIVI has shipped 135 sets of four-tier A-type layer cages and an automatic feeding machine to Ghana. Each cage set holds 160 laying hens, giving the project a total cage capacity of 21,600 birds. The combination keeps the open, accessible structure of an A-type cage house while replacing repeated manual feeding with automatic feed distribution.

A-type layer cage equipment prepared for the 21,600-layer poultry project in Ghana.
Capacity: 135 cage sets x 160 birds per set = 21,600 laying hens.
Key Benefits of A-Type Layer Cages
The customer selected four-tier A-type layer cages for the 21,600-layer project. Their stepped structure keeps the cage fronts open and gives farm staff convenient access to the birds and equipment during everyday work.
Easy flock inspection
Workers can see the hens, feed troughs, nipple drinkers and egg area directly from the aisle. This makes routine inspection and bird handling straightforward.
Good airflow around the cages
The open A-frame allows air to move between the cage tiers, making it practical for poultry houses that rely on natural ventilation or a combination of natural and mechanical airflow.
Organized feeding and drinking
Every cage section has a fixed feed trough and nipple-drinking position, giving the hens regular access to feed and water along the complete cage row.
Simple egg and manure handling
The sloped cage floor guides eggs toward the front collection area, while manure falls below the cages and remains separate from the hens and collected eggs.
The four-tier model also provides more cage capacity than a lower A-frame while keeping the main operating points accessible. With 160 birds per set, the 135 cage sets give the Ghana farm a clearly calculated capacity of 21,600 laying hens.
Adding an Automatic Feeding Machine
The automatic feeding machine is the main supporting equipment in this shipment. It travels along the A-frame cage rows and distributes feed into the troughs at each tier. This removes the need for workers to carry and portion feed repeatedly along all 135 cage sets.
Mechanical feeding is particularly useful at the 21,600-bird scale. The operator can fill the machine, run it along the cage line and check the feed level at several points. A consistent route makes feeding time easier to organize and helps prevent one section from receiving noticeably more feed than another.
What remains simple
The A-frame stays open for bird inspection, routine maintenance and egg handling. Workers can reach the cage fronts without entering a narrow stacked-cage service space.
What becomes automatic
The automatic feeding machine replaces repeated hand distribution along the cage rows, reducing the heaviest and most repetitive part of daily feeding.
Equipment Prepared for Delivery
The cage frames, mesh panels, trough sections and connecting parts were checked and grouped for shipment. Components of the automatic feeding machine were packed with their related fittings so they can be identified when the containers arrive in Ghana.
Because an A-type project includes many similar cage parts, clear package marks help the installation team separate the materials by row. The farm can prepare a dry unloading area and place structural parts close to the poultry house before assembly starts.
During shipping, the customer can complete the house floor, cage-row positions, water supply and electrical route for the automatic feeding machine. The feeder also needs a clear travel path beside the cages, so aisle width and row-end turning space should follow the confirmed layout.
Is This Configuration Suitable for Another Layer Farm?
The combination of A-type cages and an automatic feeding machine is well suited to farms that want to reduce manual feed handling while keeping other daily work straightforward. It can be used for a new poultry house or an existing building when the internal width, length and height allow the required cage rows and working aisles.
Before calculating equipment quantities, the farm should confirm:
The planned number of laying hens
The internal poultry-house length, width and height
The preferred number of cage tiers
The available power and water supply
Whether egg collection and manure removal will be manual or mechanized
These details allow LIVI to arrange the cage rows and feeding route around the actual poultry house rather than supplying a cage quantity without a workable installation plan.
