IPPE 2026 officially concluded on Jan. 27–29, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, at the Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW). During the show, ZEUSYANG (Hebei Zeus Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) welcomed visitors at Booth B24004 to exchange ideas, discuss farm goals, and explore practical solutions for modern layer operations.
To everyone who stopped by our booth—farm owners, integrators, distributors, contractors, engineers, and industry partners—thank you for your time and trust. At IPPE 2026, our main featured solution was the Multi-Tier Furnished Cage System, built around one central idea: designed for nature, built for efficiency. The system integrates enriched activity zones and smart structural design, aiming to support more natural behavior expression while maintaining a clean, manageable, and scalable production environment.
IPPE brings together decision-makers across poultry production, egg operations, and processing—making it the right place to evaluate equipment suppliers, compare housing concepts, and discuss project requirements face-to-face.
For farms planning new builds, system upgrades, or automation expansions, IPPE is also a practical opportunity to:
Review housing solutions that fit different regional standards and farm goals
Discuss capacity planning, barn layout, and system integration
Meet manufacturers who can support customization and project delivery
Across the three show days, a consistent theme emerged: layer farms worldwide are seeking solutions that deliver stable performance, practical welfare improvements, and labor efficiency—without making daily management overly complex. Many visitors came to our booth with real project constraints: limited building dimensions, different climate conditions, local welfare requirements, varying labor availability, and the need to integrate equipment into existing workflows.
Here are some of the most common discussion points and questions we heard at Booth B24004:

Discussing layer farm projects with visitors
A lot of visitors wanted clarity beyond definitions. The real question was: How does furnished housing change what birds do and how staff manage the house? We discussed how a well-designed furnished multi-tier layout can create functional zones—resting/perching, feeding/drinking, nesting, and litter/sand-bathing—so that both birds and workers follow clearer patterns. Better zoning can help reduce confusion in traffic flow, improve routine checks, and support a calmer environment when managed correctly.
Many farms are interested in enriched elements, but they’re cautious about any design that could increase labor, reduce hygiene, or complicate egg handling. We talked about the importance of structured enrichment—not random “add-ons,” but a system that is engineered from the start for cleaning, egg roll-out, manure removal, and daily access.
Labor remains a major concern. Visitors asked about practical labor-saving features: automation-ready egg collection paths, manure belt removal, and a design that supports predictable inspection routes. The discussion often shifted from “equipment” to “workflow”: how birds, eggs, manure, and people move every day.
Projects vary widely. Some visitors were planning new builds; others were upgrading existing houses. We discussed customization considerations such as building width/length constraints, tier arrangement, partitions, accessory choices, and how the same concept can be adapted to different operational goals.
It’s one thing to evaluate a system in a brochure. It’s another to implement it in a real barn. Many conversations focused on what happens after the purchase: configuration support, planning, installation coordination, and long-term service. We appreciate these questions because they reflect how serious farms think—implementation matters.

Multi-Tier Furnished Cage System
Multi-Tier Furnished Cage System
Modern egg production is evolving. Producers want a system that can support bird welfare needs while still delivering strong performance and predictable management. Our Multi-Tier Furnished Cage System was developed for this reality.
Product concept: integrate enriched activity environments with a multi-tier structural layout so that birds can express key natural behaviors—such as perching, movement across levels, exploring littered areas, and dust bathing—while the farm retains the advantages of an engineered production system: controlled egg collection, organized space utilization, and integration with manure removal.
What we aim to deliver:
A more structured, behavior-friendly environment
A design that supports daily management and operational consistency
Compatibility with labor-saving automation features (egg collection and manure removal)
Flexibility for project-specific customization
This system is especially relevant for:
Farms planning new layer house construction
Projects upgrading from older configurations and seeking higher welfare outcomes
Producers and integrators who need multi-tier space utilization
Operations aiming to improve management structure while maintaining efficiency
Below are the core product highlights we presented during IPPE 2026. We keep these points straightforward—because on a farm, what matters most is what works every day.
The system features an integrated multi-tier design that provides diverse activity areas such as perches, litter zones, and ground-space simulation. This structured environment supports movement and exploration without sacrificing the organized layout needed for large-scale production.
Feeding and drinking zones are set at different heights to encourage natural movements like jumping and wing-flapping, which helps promote activity and supports flock vitality. When birds have a reason to move—without chaotic design—it can contribute to a more dynamic but still manageable environment.
A door-free structure reduces movement restrictions and enables birds to transition more freely between zones. In furnished multi-tier systems, freedom must be engineered carefully—open access should still guide birds toward appropriate spaces for nesting, resting, and activity.
The laying area is designed as a quieter and more protected space. Nesting zones include soft nesting pads and curtains, creating a hidden environment for laying and rest. This separation supports a more intentional daily rhythm: activity happens in activity zones; egg laying happens in laying zones.
Features like perches, littered ground, and sand-bathing zones allow birds to play, forage, rest, and dust bathe—supporting instinctive behaviors. The key is integration: enrichment zones are planned as functional parts of the system, not random additions.
Side nest boxes with soft pads and curtains
Automatic open/close function to support cleanliness and comfort
Upper and lower levels with multiple perches
Steps and platforms allow free movement
Adjustable partitions for stage-specific flock management
Feed troughs with chain feeding lines on both levels
Perch guards for protection
Drinking lines separated from feeding zones to increase movement
Dry littered floor areas support dust bathing, pecking, and social play
Optional outdoor extension for sunlight and a closer-to-nature experience
Eggs roll into a collection belt and transport to the front platform
Can connect to centralized egg collection lines for labor-saving efficiency
Automatic manure belts transport waste out of the house for cleaner operation
A good housing system is more than structure—it’s how the full farm operates day-to-day. ZEUSYANG supports projects with:
Recommendation of system configuration based on target capacity and barn conditions
Planning of functional zone arrangement to support stable flock movement patterns
Partition and access considerations for stage-specific management
Integration considerations for egg collection (front platform handling, centralized line options)
Planning for manure belt routing and waste handling workflow
Coordination with supporting systems where needed (lighting, ventilation strategy, site layout)
No two farms are identical. Even within one region, projects vary by building dimensions, climate, local standards, and labor conditions. We can discuss customization options such as:
Tier arrangement and zone design adapted to the barn footprint
Accessories and components tailored to management style
Project-level planning inputs to support practical implementation
Our goal is not to make a system that looks good only in drawings. We focus on designs that can be installed, operated, inspected, and maintained in everyday conditions—because that’s what farms depend on.
IPPE 2026 was a valuable opportunity to connect with the global poultry industry and have practical conversations about what layer farms need right now: better welfare structure, improved operational efficiency, and realistic automation integration.
