Shanxi Zhengjin Automated Layer Farm Project

Project Background

Zhoushi Machinery is supporting the construction of a new automated layer farm for Shanxi Zhengjin Animal Husbandry in Shanxi Province. As a customer project currently moving forward in an orderly manner, it reflects the growing demand for standardized, efficient, and large-scale egg production facilities.

For poultry producers planning new farms or expanding existing operations, this project offers a practical example of how integrated farm planning and standardized equipment can support modern layer farming development.

Farm Planning and Capacity Design

The Shanxi Zhengjin project covers 122.98 mu and is planned as a comprehensive automated layer farming base. The overall layout includes four major functional areas: a pullet brooding and growing area, a laying hen production area, an egg processing and storage area, and a manure treatment with organic fertilizer production area.

Pullet Brooding and Growing Area

The project plan includes 3 pullet houses, each covering 1,500 square meters. Each house is designed to accommodate 150,000 pullets aged 55 to 60 days, providing a strong foundation for future flock transfer and production management.

Layer Production Area

The laying area includes 12 layer houses, each with a floor area of 1,500 square meters. Each house is designed for 150,000 laying hens, supporting large-capacity and standardized egg production.

Egg Processing and Storage Area

To support post-production operations, the project also includes a 3,600-square-meter egg storage facility together with an egg handling and processing line, helping improve egg collection efficiency, storage management, and product handling standards.

Manure Treatment and Organic Fertilizer Production Area

In addition to the production sections, the farm plan includes a dedicated area for chicken manure treatment and organic fertilizer production, which supports cleaner farm management and better resource utilization.

Current Construction Progress

At present, 2 pullet houses and 1 layer house are under construction. The overall project is progressing according to plan, with each stage advancing steadily and in coordination with the farm’s long-term development goals.

For Zhoushi Machinery, this phase also lays the groundwork for the next step of equipment delivery and installation. A well-organized construction process is essential to ensuring that the customer can move smoothly into the equipment implementation stage and later farm operation stage.

Zhoushi Machinery’s Equipment Solution

For this project, the customer adopts Zhoushi Machinery’s standardized 5-row, 8-tier layer farming equipment.

This solution is designed to meet the needs of modern large-scale egg farms by improving space utilization, supporting standardized management, and preparing the farm for efficient daily operation. With its multi-tier structure and standardized design, the system provides a solid foundation for modern layer farm construction.

For customers considering new automated poultry houses, this type of solution offers important advantages in terms of production organization, operational consistency, and future system integration. It also helps create favorable conditions for the later application of automated feeding, manure removal, egg collection, and environmental control systems.

Why This Project Matters for Modern Layer Farms

This customer project is more than a construction update. It is also a useful reference case for poultry producers who are evaluating how to build a modern layer farm with clearer planning and more efficient equipment configuration.

A Practical Example of Integrated Farm Planning

The project combines pullet rearing, egg production, egg processing, storage, and manure utilization in one overall plan. For investors and farm operators, this kind of integrated layout helps improve coordination across the entire production chain.

A Standardized Approach to Farm Construction

The clear building specifications and functional zoning make it easier to manage both project execution and future operation. Standardized construction also supports smoother equipment installation and more efficient long-term farm management.

A Scalable Equipment Model for Large Farms

Zhoushi Machinery’s 5-row, 8-tier standardized equipment is suitable for farms that want to move toward higher density, better organization, and larger production capacity. For customers aiming to build or upgrade intensive layer operations, this project shows how standardized equipment can be applied in practice.

A Development Direction That Supports Efficiency and Sustainability

By including manure treatment and organic fertilizer production in the project plan, the customer is building toward a more complete and sustainable production model. This is also increasingly important for modern farms seeking long-term operational efficiency and better environmental management.

Conclusion

The Shanxi Zhengjin automated layer farm project is progressing steadily, and it provides a valuable customer case for the poultry industry. Through this project, Zhoushi Machinery is helping the customer move toward a more standardized, efficient, and scalable layer farming model with its 5-row, 8-tier equipment solution.

If you are planning a new layer farm project or upgrading an existing operation, Zhoushi Machinery welcomes you to explore practical, proven equipment solutions through this customer case and discover how we can support your farm’s move toward greater efficiency, standardization, and long-term growth.
