Project Engineering Background & Verified Regional Location
This commercial poultry project is situated in Nakuru County, Rift Valley, Kenya (Kenya's Commercial Egg Production Corridor). Designed and manufactured by Zhengzhou Shuohui Husbandry Equipment Co., Ltd. (originally founded in 2005 as Xingyang Jianghai Machinery Factory), this turnkey installation accommodates 40,000 Commercial Laying Hens (Two Identical 20,000-Bird 5-Tier A-Type Houses). All equipment engineering strictly follows factory structural standards, utilizing heavy Q235B cold-drawn steel wire treated with certified hot-dip galvanization (minimum 275 g/m² zinc coating mass) to ensure an operational service life of 15 to 20+ years.
"Shuohui’s engineers prevented a major mistake: rather than building one oversized house, they designed two 16m-wide, 4.4m-high 5-tier A-type sheds capped at 20,000 birds each. Flock mortality is 0.11% per month."System Specifications & Factory Equipment Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
Shuohui's engineering department developed a customized CAD building floorplan tailored to the Two Houses, each 16.0m (W) × 65.0m (L) × 4.4m (H) — Net cage line 55m + 10m equipment buffer. Key technical parameters and factory bill of quantities include:
- Cage System & Model: 5-Tier A-Type Stepped Layer Cage (Spec 2: 400×450mm, 200 birds/5-tier set)
- Cell Dimensions & Stocking Density: 1950mm (L) × 400mm (D) × 450mm (H), 5 tiers, 200 birds per standard set
- Shed Building Geometry & Clear Height: Two Houses, each 16.0m (W) × 65.0m (L) × 4.4m (H) — Net cage line 55m + 10m equipment buffer. Required building clear height: 4.4m shed clear height (strictly adds 60cm to 3.8m base for 5 tiers).
- Cage Rows & Unit Allocation: Per House: 4 cage rows × 25 sets = 100 sets × 200 birds = 20,000 birds (Total 40,000 birds)
- Manure Removal & Egg Conveyor Systems: Deep pit manure removal + travelling hopper feeding (0.75kW @ 6m/min) + egg collection belts
- Automated Feeding & Watering: Natural convection with automated gable exhaust fans and evaporative cooling pads. Drinking lines equipped with 360° cone valve stainless steel nipples, dedicated pressure regulators, and medicators.
Climate Control & Biosecurity Engineering
To protect flock health and maintain peak feed conversion efficiency under local climatic conditions, the installation integrates an intelligent environmental controller (such as our iEC1680 system with real-time 3D house monitoring). Negative pressure tunnel ventilation maintains static pressure at a stable 20 to 25 Pa, drawing air across 150mm thick high-efficiency evaporative cooling pads to achieve a wind-chill velocity of 2.2 to 2.6 m/s at bird level. This guarantees zero thermal dead spots across all cage tiers while keeping in-house ammonia concentrations strictly under 10 ppm.
