Project Overview
The Colombian client owns a large-scale egg production farm located in Cartagena. To expand their production capacity and reduce labor costs, they decided to build a new modern chicken house designed for 60,000 laying hens with h-type layer cage system. After comparing several suppliers, they chose LIVI Machinery for our professional one-stop service, customized cage design, and proven reliability in tropical environments.

Client Requirements and Challenges
The client's main goals were to improve egg production efficiency and reduce manual work in their new poultry house. They also needed a system that performs well in Colombia's humid and warm climate.
