More than 400.00 laying hens in C5 battery system

Our customer, Daily Eggs Co., Ltd (Thailand), has constructed a mega smart layer house 14,000 sq. m holding 405,000 birds under one roof to bolster quality and reduce operating expenses.
The house is fitted with battery cages in six rows with six tiers.
“We increase machine efficiency, employ capable animal husbandries and the best post laying to achieve the top notch quality egg which is clean, safe and the most appealing,”
said Mr. Chaiyaporn founder and managing director of Porn Pat Sorn Farm.
“With reduced energy costs, improved performance and good egg quality, the investment could break even in just five years” he added.
Facco cages and controls have a “black box” that serves as the brain of the entire operation. It also regulates air movement, feed and water consumption. It also generates real time reports which enable operators to detect irregularities instantly.
The housing is designed to live up with Thailand’s high humidity from the beginning, because it can cause discomfort and heat stress which is detrimental to bird health and productivity.

The electric bill for running three conventional houses holding 135,000 birds each is 300,000 baht/month, but the newly installed Facco system slashes that down to 90,000 baht/month for a 70% cost reduction. Only two staff are required to look after the birds.
