From First Contact to Three Phases: How a Philippine Egg Farm Reached 81,000 Layers with Our A-Type Automated Cages

In the poultry industry, trust is not built overnight. It is earned through quality, reliability, and results.

For one egg farmer in the Philippines, that trust began with a single recommendation—and grew into a full-scale, three-phase expansion that now houses 81,000 laying hens across five well-planned poultry houses.

This is the story of how a custom-designed A-Type automated layer system helped a local farm scale up efficiently, withstand the country’s hot and humid climate, and continue expanding through repeat orders.

Project Overview

A Trusted Introduction: The Power of Local Partnerships

In April 2024, we received a call from a prospective customer in the Philippine poultry sector.

The lead did not come from an online advertisement or a trade show booth. Instead, it came from a local installer who had previously completed one of our customized poultry projects.

Having witnessed our product quality, installation standards, and technical support firsthand, the installer confidently recommended HIGHTOP to the customer.

Thanks to this recommendation, the customer contacted us with a clear objective:

• Build a scalable commercial egg farm
• Improve production efficiency
• Design a poultry house suitable for the Philippine climate

Custom Farm Planning: A Scalable Design from Day One

Every successful commercial poultry farm begins with careful planning.

After evaluating the customer’s available land, investment budget, and future expansion plans, our engineering team designed a five-house layout that could be completed in three independent construction phases.

Key project specifications include:

• Each poultry house accommodates 16,200 laying hens
• Five houses provide a total capacity of 81,000 birds
• The project can expand gradually while maintaining a unified farm layout

This phased approach allows farmers to control investment costs while proving the project’s profitability before expanding.

Designed Specifically for the Philippine Climate

The customer selected an open elevated poultry house, one of the most practical structures for tropical climates.

To ensure stable production under high temperature, high humidity, and strong sunshine, HIGHTOP modified the standard A-Type cage design.

Each house adopts a 3-tier, 3-row configuration, while increasing both cage height and cage width.

These improvements provide several important advantages:

• Better ventilation throughout the poultry house
• Reduced heat stress during hot seasons
• Proper spacing between cages
• Less manure accumulation
• Lower disease risk

The customer also selected additional equipment to further improve environmental control:

• PVC roof
• Roof exhaust fans

Together, these systems create a healthier environment and maintain high laying performance throughout the year.

Fully Automated Layer Farming System

The entire farm operates with a fully automated A-Type layer cage system.

Major equipment includes:

• Automatic drinking system
• Automatic feeding system
• Automatic manure removal system
• Automatic egg collection system

Automation helps the farm:

• Reduce labor requirements
• Improve management efficiency
• Ensure uniform flock performance
• Reduce human error

Three Phases of Expansion: Repeat Orders Built on Trust

One of the strongest proofs of customer satisfaction is repeat business.

Phase 1 — May 2024

The customer ordered equipment for Houses 1 and 2, including:

• A-Type automatic cages for 32,400 hens
• PVC roofing
• Roof fans

Installation proceeded smoothly with support from our local installation team.

The farm quickly achieved stable production.

Phase 2 — April 2025

Satisfied with the first phase, the customer immediately expanded the farm.

The second order covered:

• Houses 3 and 4
• Same A-Type cage system
• PVC roofs
• Roof fans

This phase also introduced:

• UV algae removal lamps

The upgraded drinking system further improved water quality and bird health.

By the end of Phase 2, the farm had reached 64,800 laying hens.

Phase 3 — February 2026

The customer completed the original farm plan by ordering equipment for House 5.

The final package included:

• A-Type layer cages
• PVC roofing
• Roof fans
• UV lamps

The fifth poultry house is currently under installation.

Meanwhile, the customer has already begun planning an H-Type automatic layer cage project, demonstrating long-term confidence in HIGHTOP.

Why the Customer Chose HIGHTOP Again and Again

Three repeat orders within less than two years clearly demonstrate the customer’s confidence.

The reasons include:

• Durable, corrosion-resistant cage materials
• Customized design for Philippine open poultry houses
• Fast local installation
• Responsive after-sales service
• Flexible phased expansion planning

A Successful Model for Philippine Egg Farms

This project has become an excellent example of commercial egg production in the Philippines.

It demonstrates that:

• Automated A-Type cages can support large-scale commercial production.
• Climate challenges can be solved through customized cage and house design.
• Gradual expansion reduces financial pressure while maintaining long-term growth.

The project provides a practical reference for poultry farmers throughout Southeast Asia.
