Project Overview
Located in Philippines, this poultry house renovation project is a successful modernization upgrade completed by HIGHTOP for a local commercial egg farm.
The client had been operating a traditional layer chicken house for years. As local labor costs continued rising and manual management efficiency declined, the farm owner decided to upgrade the facility into a modern automated layer house capable of higher production efficiency and lower operating costs.
Instead of investing in an entirely new poultry building, the client wanted to maximize the value of the existing structure through a professional automation retrofit.
After evaluating several poultry equipment suppliers, the client selected HIGHTOP due to our extensive experience in international poultry house renovation projects, customized engineering capability, and reliable after-sales technical support.
Through careful structural planning and precise equipment integration, HIGHTOP successfully transformed the old poultry house into a fully automated 14,400-layer production system, allowing the farm to achieve significant labor savings and long-term operational efficiency.

Challenges Before Renovation
Before working with HIGHTOP, the poultry house faced several common operational limitations found in traditional poultry farms across Southeast Asia.
The old farming system relied heavily on manual labor for daily feeding and egg collection, resulting in high labor costs and inefficient management.
The outdated cage structure also limited production density while making sanitation and flock observation more difficult.
In addition, the client faced increasing market competition and needed a practical solution to improve productivity without demolishing and rebuilding the entire house.
The client’s goal was clear:
Upgrade the old poultry facility into a modern automated layer farm with minimal structural modification and controlled investment cost.
This required a highly customized engineering solution.
HIGHTOP Customized Renovation Design
After detailed measurement and structural analysis, HIGHTOP engineers designed a renovation plan specifically adapted to the existing poultry house dimensions.
The solution combines:
3 Rows of Standard A-Type 3-Tier Layer Cages
These provide stable high-capacity layer production while ensuring easy management access.
2 Rows of Semi-A-Type (D-Type) Layer Cages
This customized side-layout configuration makes full use of available building width, increasing overall stocking density without compromising ventilation or operator access.
This hybrid cage arrangement is especially effective for upgrading traditional low-height poultry houses commonly found in the Philippines.
The final design fully utilizes available space while preserving smooth daily workflow inside the house.
Arrival of New Equipment
Once the renovation plan was finalized, all production materials and automated systems were delivered to the farm site.
HIGHTOP carefully coordinated equipment manufacturing and logistics to ensure all components arrived on schedule for immediate installation.
This included:
- Thick hot-dip galvanized cage mesh
- 8×9×13 reverse-slope feed troughs
- Gantry automatic feeding system
- Automatic egg collection system
- Feed silo system
- Automatic watering components
All components were pre-manufactured for efficient modular installation.
Premium Cage Structure Built for Long-Term Performance
This project adopts HIGHTOP’s upgraded A-Type automatic layer cage system.
The cage structure uses thick hot-dip galvanized steel mesh, offering outstanding resistance to corrosion and deformation under humid tropical conditions.
Compared with standard electro-galvanized systems, this provides:
- Longer service life
- Stronger structural stability
- Better resistance to ammonia corrosion
- Lower maintenance requirements
The cages are equipped with 8×9×13 reverse-slope feed troughs, designed to reduce feed waste and ensure smoother feed distribution across all birds.
This design improves feeding consistency and helps reduce operational cost over time.
Cage Installation Process
Following removal of old farming equipment, HIGHTOP technicians began systematic cage assembly.
The modular cage design ensures:
- Fast installation speed
- Accurate row alignment
- Easy automation integration
- Stable long-term structural performance
The entire cage structure was assembled with strict engineering precision.
Feeding System Installation
A major part of this upgrade is the gantry automatic feeding system.
Unlike traditional manual feeding, this system delivers feed evenly and efficiently throughout the entire house.
Key advantages include:
- Significant labor reduction
- Uniform feeding accuracy
- Lower feed waste
- Improved flock consistency
This automation greatly reduces dependence on manual labor while improving daily management efficiency.
Feed Storage System Installation
The external feed silo system ensures stable bulk feed storage and automatic supply support.
Benefits include:
- Lower feed handling labor
- Better feed hygiene
- Simplified farm logistics
- Continuous supply reliability
This system works seamlessly with the gantry feeding system.
Automatic Water Supply System
The automated nipple drinking system ensures every bird receives clean and stable water access.
This helps:
- Improve flock health
- Reduce contamination risk
- Lower water waste
- Support stable egg production
Final Completion and Operational Startup
After installation and commissioning, the poultry house was officially completed.
The final automated layer house presents a clean, highly organized production environment optimized for efficient management and long-term performance.
Recommended Equipment Used in This Project
HIGHTOP A-Type 3-Tier Automatic Layer Cage System
For poultry farms upgrading traditional layer houses, this system offers outstanding value.
Key Advantages:
Perfect for Low-Height Existing Poultry Houses
The 3-tier structure fits traditional poultry buildings without requiring major reconstruction.
