Digital Benchmark for Broiler Farming: Big Herdsman’s Digital Solutions Deployed at Jinan Zhongcheng Agriculture’s 8.5-Million Broiler Project

With an annual output of 8.5 million broilers across 20 modern poultry houses, how can a farm of this scale safeguard flock health and accurately track growth data for each production batch?

For the Jinan Zhongcheng Agriculture broiler project, Big Herdsman delivers a tailored solution. Built to support a full-capacity annual output of 8.5 million broilers, Big Herdsman’s comprehensive digital portfolio underpins the farm’s efficient day-to-day operations.

The project is fitted with Big Herdsman’s full set of automated multi-tier broiler cage systems, enabling full-process automation across feeding, drinking, environmental control and manure removal. This setup significantly boosts broiler production efficiency and the farm’s overall competitiveness.

At the core of the chicken houses is the Big Herdsman BH9000MAX climate controller. It monitors key parameters including temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting in real time and automatically coordinates connected equipment to create a stable and comfortable growing environment, reducing flock stress and consolidating the biosecurity foundation. Paired with Big Herdsman’s poultry IoT system, it enables visualized and digital management of the rearing process. Real-time monitoring and analysis of poultry growth data shift farm management from experience-driven to data-driven, significantly improving the accuracy of management decisions.

In addition, the project deployed Big Herdsman’s Smart Poultry Manager production management system, covering all business modules including daily and weekly flock reports, feeding and inventory management, medication plans and records, batch cost accounting and cost analysis, personnel attendance, and spare parts management. The system supports multi-terminal collaboration via PC and WeChat Mini Programs, enabling real-time data management across the full production chain and reliable traceability throughout the entire broiler rearing cycle. This helps farming enterprises simplify operational processes and reduce management costs, providing a replicable practical model for the digital transformation of the broiler industry.

From the implementation of intelligent hardware to the deep application of digital management platforms, Big Herdsman continues to provide integrated smart farming solutions for large-scale poultry farms. In the future, Big Herdsman will continue to work with industry partners to drive poultry industry upgrades through technological innovation, helping more poultry farming enterprises achieve cost reduction, efficiency gains, and green, sustainable development.
