Smart Farming Demonstration Base – 500,000 Layer Farm

Five high-standard egg-laying houses were built, with a breeding stock of 500,000 chickens and an annual output of 600,000 high-end high-quality pullet. As the equipment supplier and after-sales service provider of the project, Big Herdsman undertook a full set of work including planning and design, equipment installation and use guidance, and equipment maintenance.

Based on customer needs, the Big Herdsman Animal and Poultry Engineering Research Institute planned a solution for a 500,000-feather laying hen farm for the project. The project is designed to have 5 5-row 6-story laying houses and 2 6-row 4-story brooder houses. The laying house can raise 75,000 chickens per building and produce 360,000 fresh eggs per day; the brooder house can produce 80,000 chickens per time.

Big Herdsman actively promotes the application of digital technology in agricultural breeding, and introduces the innovative technology of “digital big intelligence” into the entire breeding process of customers. The entire chicken house is equipped with Big Herdsman BH9200 environmental control system, which monitors temperature, humidity, lighting and other data in real time. Customers can remotely receive breeding data and alarm notifications on their mobile phones. Once an abnormal environment is detected, such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, power outage, abnormal water supply, etc., the alarm will sound on site and the abnormal situation will be sent to the mobile phone remotely. Customers can remotely and timely control the opening and closing of fans, small windows, wet curtains, insulation doors, etc. to balance the environment in the house and ensure the health and comfort of the chickens.

The high-end cage system of Big Herdsman laying hens has a strong and durable cage structure, higher anti-corrosion performance and longer service life. The comfortable elastic cage net design and the unique egg guide device further reduce the egg breakage rate in the cage.

The farm adopts a central feeding mode. The high-quality feed produced by the customer’s feed processing workshop is uniformly transported to the feed towers of each chicken house through the whole farm plug feed line. A feed weighing controller is configured under the feed tower to realize automatic weighing and automatic calculation and entry of feed intake. This design can not only solve the problem of biosafety and avoid cross-infection, but also effectively reduce feed waste, raw material costs and labor costs. The feed is automatically fed by the driving, and the feed is evenly distributed to ensure that the chickens can eat fresh feed every day.

The whole farm is equipped with a Big Herdsman elevator egg collection system and a central egg collection system. The fresh eggs in each house are transported to the egg warehouse through the central egg line, and the packaging machine in the warehouse automatically sorts and packs them, which improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs.

The Big Herdsman’s stacked brooder cage system can hold 80,000 chicks in a single building and is equipped with automatic feeding, drinking water, environmental control and other modules. It has a high degree of automation and ensures the overall uniformity of pullet.
