Basic information
The cost of building a commercial layer chicken pen house that can contain 30,000 layers depends on its design and material specifications. It is a farm building or shed where female chickens (Layers) are kept for the purpose of laying eggs. Depending on the size of the building, this chicken farm is capable of small to large scale egg production
There are two main types of poultry houses, an automated and the mechanically ventilated house, and a naturally ventilated house. The design you choose depends on many factors such as the weather/climate conditions in your region, the amount of budget (finances) you have for each of the design alternatives, the ground conditions, the availability of specific materials in your area and the amount of labour, time you want to cut or put in
If you need to improve productivity and increase efficiency on your farm while raising 30,000 layers, you will have to invest in technology. An automated layer house has mechanically controlled systems for feeding, drinking, egg collection and manure removal. The ventilation is also automated, adjusting and changing accordingly with the environmental temperature, wind pressure, humidity and lighting
This commercial chicken pen house that can house your 30,000 layers will save you a lot of money, especially in reducing labour costs, one man can run and manage the entire farm via the control room and occasionally inspecting the building
Construction process of layers pen house
1. Prepare the pen site
Clear site of all vegetation, bushes, and shrubs and grass etc. including grubbing up roots, stumps and removing all rubbish and debris Area should be 128.778 x 24.053mm. The topsoil excavation/scarifying 225mm deep to reduced level, leveling the site and compacting Area is 128. 773 x 24.053mm. 225mm compacted hardcore, 50mm sand blinding, DPM (vapour barrier), 150mm concrete slab, 25-30mm granolithic screed
2. Dig holes
From reduced level, Excavate holes for RC column base foundations 1000 x 1000 x 700mm deep. Compact bottom of holes, then add 50mm sand blinding. If the soil is weak, add a 50mm layer of soil Crete, also known as concrete blinding or weak concrete, grade 10Mpa or 15Mpa
3. Dig trenches
Excavate trench for manure conveyer belt, depth 1,650mm from reduced level. The manure conveyer belt channel (pit) is located on one end of the building, running along the internal width of the house, and out into an external pit where a second conveyer belt is connected to send the waste into a truck or commercial container, the dimensions for the conveyer belt pit are shown on the drawings.The 3 rows of A type, 4 Tier chicken cages (82m long), installed in the house, have their own manure collection conveyer belt system located under the cage, trenches or pits are not needed for this system, so no excavations will be made
4. Concrete column bases
Size of RC concrete bases is 1500 x 1500 x 1500mm deep.Install rough formwork to sides of excavated holes for RC bases is 1500 x 1500 x 1500mm high.In the bottom surface of excavated holes, pour 112.5 mm concrete cover (Grade 45Mpa), then Lay steel reinforcement bars ( as shown in the Engineer’s Bar Bending Schedule) and pour in concrete Grade 30Mpa/19mm for RC column bases. Leave the concrete to set and cure for 21 days
5. Brickwork
The next step after erecting the portal frame (columns and beams) is building a dado brick-wall. In this particular project, a combination of brickwork and profiled steel/sandwich panels will be used. About 75% of the wall envelope will be profiled cladding sheets, and 25% will be brick-walls. Build the wall, starting at plinth level or floor level. The base brickwork (dado wall) for this poultry house will be around 840mm high. The height of a dado wall is roughly the height of a kitchen table. In this project, hollow concrete blocks of standard size 585 x 210 x 285mm high (code M150) will be used
6. Wall cladding
The two main types of cladding material that you can use for a portal frame wall are profiled cladding sheets and sandwich panels. Cladding sheets are thin single layers available in different materials (steel, aluminum, galvanized iron, metal alloys, PVC, fiber glass and non metal polymers). The core material is much thicker than the skin, so depending on the thickness of the core material, you can have panels ranging in thickness from 7 to 300mm. The core material is usually made in foam, honeycomb or solid structure. The skins are sheets, covering the core and providing aesthetic architectural profile.Various types of synthetic and non synthetic material can be used for core material Polycarbonate, PP, PVC, balsa, and aluminum, polyurethane (PU), Extruded Polystyrene (EPS) and XPS
7. Electrical installation
This is a question that you have to answer. For a municipal connection, you will need to connect to an existing service panel installed by the local electricity board. You will also need to distribute and install electrical circuits inside the building including lighting fixtures, switches, power sockets etc.This monitor is installed in the service room, feedback from sensors inside the building can be seen, and routine tasks can be set, initiated or stopped. Here, the service room attendant can control and monitor all the automatic, electronic and electrical installations in the chicken house. This electrical installation includes,
Automatic feeding line
The equipment includes drivers (motors), feeding pipe, pan, box, auger and sensor
Automatic drinking line
The equipment includes auto dozer, filter, meter, main pipe, pressure controller, water level monitor, reinforced pipe, drinking nipple and water cup
Automatic main stock line
The equipment includes feed silo, weight sensor, locationsensor, feed pipe, auger and driving equipment
Automatic egg collection line
This system eliminates manual labour costs as well as breakage of eggs by over 99%, eggs laid by chickens slip into a conveyer belt for transportation to the collection point
Temperature recorders
This device is installed inside and outside the building to measure environmental temperature
Humidity sensors
The device is installed indoors to measure air humidity
Air speed sensors
The device is used to measure air and wind speed
Light sensor
This electronic system will activate and deactivate lighting based on the time of day or lighting conditions inside the house
Cooling pad controller
The device controls the cooling pads inside the house
Cooling fan controller
The device controls the cooling fans inside the house
Air vent controller
Static pressure sensor and auto controller for air inlet windows, to allow for natural ventilation
Heating system
Chickens should be provided with enough warmth during the cold season. A central heating system fired by coal, gas, oil or electricity should be installed. The heating system comes with an auto-control device monitored in the service room
Alarm system
Alarm for emergency alerts and status updates of the environment
8. Chicken cages
Three rows of A type, 4 Tier, 5 Door chicken cages made of steel mesh wire will be installed on the floor. Each cage measures 1950x450x410mm high. A 4-tier set (8 cages) can accommodate 160 chickens. The chicken house internal dimensions should be 135.000 x 17.340mm wide, the configuration 3 rows per chicken house, 42 sets per row, and 126 sets.Accommodation capacity 160 birds/set * 42 sets/row * 3 rows= 20,160 birds per house.During the factory manufacturing process, the steel cages are treated with electrostatic spraying and epoxy resin powder coating to resist corrosion and increase their lifespan by up to 20 years
9. Manure and waste removal system
1. Cage waste conveyer belt
There are two types of manure waste removal systems is using an automatic and mechanical scraper that scraps waste collected inside the pit below the cage or using an automatic manure belt conveyer fixed under the A type, 4 tier cage rows. If you need the later, the conveyer belt comes attached to the cage, so you have to buy a specialized A type, 4 tier cage system for this purpose.In this system, chicken waste falls on the conveyer belt which moves the waste to a collection pit at the other end of the cage row
2. Collection pit conveyer belt
Internal Pit
A brick wall pit approximately 1000mm wide and 1400mm deep from floor level is built along the internal width of the house to accommodate a manure belt conveyer that collects waste from the cages, and sends it to an external pit
External Pit
The external pit is a brick wall structure, about 2700x1800x1400mm deep. It has its own conveyer belt inclined at a slope of less than or equal to 25 degrees. This conveyer belt takes waste from the second chain to a truck or container stationed outside the house
