A-Type Layer Cage System: Configuration and Project Interfaces
Direct answer
LIVI A-type layer cage systems use a tiered A-frame structure made from hot-dip-galvanized Q235 steel and can be configured with feeding, manure removal and egg collection. The ABKE-010 record covers three to five tiers and lists a reference capacity of up to 160 birds per set. These are model and configuration references, not a stocking instruction or a universal capacity for every A-type cage.
Verified product facts
| Item | Supported record | Required qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Product family | A-type layer cage system | Final cage model must be named in the proposal. |
| Steel | Q235 | Confirm the supplied component specification. |
| Surface reference | Hot-dip galvanized | Coating scope must match the final bill of materials. |
| Tier reference | 3–5 tiers | Selected tiers depend on the model, house and project layout. |
| Capacity reference | Up to 160 birds per set | Not a universal stocking recommendation; confirm model and applicable requirements. |
| Automation options | Feeding, manure removal and egg collection may be configured | Only equipment listed in the project scope is included. |
| Design-life reference | 15–20 years | Not a warranty; actual service depends on specification, environment, use and maintenance. |
What the system can include
The cage structure can be planned with feed distribution, drinking, manure removal and egg handling as part of a wider poultry-house solution. Each interface needs to be shown on the layout. Product names alone do not confirm motors, conveyors, tanks, controls, installation work or civil interfaces.
LIVI’s documented service scope can include planning, equipment configuration, production, delivery, installation guidance, training and after-sales support. The exact commercial and technical scope remains project-specific.
Configuration boundaries
- Capacity: calculate from the exact cage model and project requirements, not from the page title alone.
- House fit: verify internal length, width, clear height, doors, columns, aisles and end clearances.
- Automation: identify whether feeding, drinking, manure removal and egg collection are included, optional or excluded.
- Environment: coordinate the cage rows with ventilation, cooling, sensors, lighting and controls where those systems are selected.
- Utilities: provide the available electrical and water conditions for equipment integration.
- Lifecycle: treat the 15–20-year value as a design-life reference, never as an unconditional guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
How many tiers are available?
The ABKE-010 record lists three to five tiers. The final tier count must be selected with the exact model and building layout.
Does every set hold 160 layers?
No. The record states a reference of up to 160 birds per set. Final occupancy depends on the selected cage and the requirements applicable to the project.
Are feeding, manure removal and egg collection standard?
They may be configured with the cage system, but the final equipment list controls what is included.
Does hot-dip galvanizing mean the cage cannot corrode?
No. Hot-dip galvanizing is a supported surface-treatment reference. An absolute no-corrosion claim is not supported.
Is the 15–20-year reference a warranty?
No. It is a design-life reference. The final warranty, supplied specification, environment, operation and maintenance determine the actual commercial and service conditions.

Prepare an A-type layer project review
Provide the country or project region, target layer capacity per house, number of houses, verified internal dimensions, new-build or retrofit status, preferred automation, water and electrical conditions, and future expansion plan. LIVI can then prepare a project-specific cage and equipment proposal.
