In layer production, early-stage rearing is where performance is built from day one.Conventional systems often struggle with unstable climate control, uneven flock growth, and higher disease pressure.
In this feature, we visit Runlong to see how the Bigherdsman “3+3” integrated cage system is setting new standards in equipment, capacity, and service.
In February 2025, a modern brooding facility in Xiantao, Hubei, was brought into operation.Instead of the noise and odor of traditional houses, the site runs with climate-controlled units, automated feeding lines, manure removal systems, and pullets ready for nationwide delivery.
Runlong is building a new benchmark through upgraded equipment, increased capacity, stronger production capability, and more efficient service.
Successful pullet rearing depends on precise climate control and efficient space use.Runlong uses the Bigherdsman “3+3” stacked integrated brooding and rearing cage system, designed for exactly this purpose.
Six-tier stacked design: adjustable feeding and drinking at each level, flexible transfer timing, reduced stress during movement, and significantly higher output per square meter.
Smart climate control continuously manages temperature and humidity, coordinating ventilation and cooling to maintain optimal conditions and improve survival and uniformity.
Automated feeding and watering ensure accurate dosing, consistent nutrition, and minimal manual error.
Manure is automatically removed via belts and processed for organic fertilizer, keeping the facility clean and odor-free.
It converts brooding from a labor-intensive, high-risk task into a standardized and scalable production process.Each batch is raised under controlled conditions, delivering consistent quality.
Equipment ultimately needs to deliver both capacity and quality.Runlong operates a three-tier breeding structure that supports an annual supply of one million pullets.Its “1+3+N” service model covers vaccination, disease control, nutrition, and more across the full production cycle.This is what differentiates it from traditional suppliers.
Behind this scale is a standardized production system supported by integrated services.Runlong acts not just as a supplier, but as a production partner.Customers receive not only birds, but full technical support from brooding through laying.
Runlong’s model shows a clear path forward: advanced equipment, scalable capacity, and integrated services deliver high-standard pullets.
The Bigherdsman “3+3” system is the hardware foundation behind this model.With precise climate control, automation, and optimized design, it supports consistent high-quality production.
Going forward, Bigherdsman will continue working with partners like Runlong to drive more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready layer production.
