Helping a Professional Pullet Farm Raise Stronger Birds with Modern Automation
For commercial poultry farms, the quality of pullets directly determines their market value. Healthy, uniform, and well-managed pullets are in high demand because they provide a stronger foundation for successful layer production.
To improve production efficiency and supply high-quality pullets to the local market, a poultry company in Surabaya, Indonesia, partnered with HIGHTOP to build a modern automated pullet-rearing facility using H-Type automatic pullet cages.
The project covers three poultry houses, each designed to accommodate 35,000 pullets. Rather than simply purchasing equipment, the customer required a complete solution including engineering design, equipment manufacturing, and professional installation guidance. HIGHTOP managed every stage of the project to ensure efficient construction and reliable operation.

Why the Customer Chose HIGHTOP
Indonesia’s poultry industry continues to grow rapidly, creating increasing demand for high-quality pullets from commercial layer farms.
Instead of raising laying hens, this customer specializes in professional pullet rearing. Chicks are raised under controlled conditions until they reach the appropriate growing stage before being sold to layer farms across the region.
Because uniform growth, flock health, and efficient management directly affect the market value of the birds, the customer needed an automated rearing system capable of producing consistent results while reducing labor requirements.
After comparing several suppliers, the customer selected HIGHTOP because of our extensive experience in automated poultry projects throughout Southeast Asia, our ability to customize equipment layouts according to building dimensions, and our comprehensive technical support from project planning through installation.
Careful Planning Before Construction
Every successful poultry project begins long before equipment arrives at the farm.
Before production started, HIGHTOP’s engineering team carefully evaluated the dimensions of each poultry house and designed a layout that maximized stocking capacity while maintaining proper ventilation, convenient management aisles, and efficient daily operation.
Rather than simply arranging cages to fit the available space, the design focused on creating an environment that supports healthy pullet growth and simplifies routine farm management.
Detailed engineering planning also ensured that every automatic system could be installed smoothly, reducing construction risks and avoiding costly modifications during installation.
For large commercial projects, proper planning is one of the most effective ways to save both time and investment.
Why an H-Type Automatic Pullet Cage System?
Professional pullet farms require more than high stocking density. They need a rearing environment that promotes uniform development, reduces disease risks, and allows efficient daily management.
After analyzing the customer’s production objectives, HIGHTOP recommended a 5-tier H-Type automatic pullet cage system, providing an ideal balance between production capacity and bird welfare.
Several automated systems operate together throughout the rearing period.
The automatic feeding system distributes feed evenly to every cage, improving feeding consistency while reducing feed waste.
The nipple drinking system provides continuous access to clean water, supporting healthy growth and lowering daily labor requirements.
Meanwhile, the automatic manure removal system keeps the poultry house cleaner by reducing moisture and ammonia levels, creating a healthier environment for both birds and workers.
Working as one integrated production system, these automated technologies enable the customer to manage large numbers of pullets more efficiently while producing healthy, uniform birds that meet commercial market standards.
Professional Installation Support On Site
Once production was completed, HIGHTOP dispatched one experienced installation engineer to Indonesia to guide the construction of all three poultry houses.
Working alongside the customer’s local installation team, our engineer supervised cage assembly, equipment alignment, automatic system installation, and final commissioning to ensure every component met HIGHTOP’s engineering standards.
By combining local labor with professional technical guidance, the project progressed efficiently while ensuring stable long-term operation after completion.
Smooth Installation Through Professional Technical Support
Once production was completed, all equipment was carefully packed and shipped to Indonesia according to the project schedule. Every cage component and accessory underwent strict quality inspection before loading to ensure safe transportation and efficient installation on site.
Unlike projects that rely entirely on remote guidance, HIGHTOP assigned one experienced engineer to Surabaya to provide on-site installation supervision for all three poultry houses.
Working together with the customer’s local construction team, our engineer guided every critical stage of the installation process, including cage assembly, automatic system alignment, equipment testing, and final commissioning.
This combination of local labor and HIGHTOP’s technical expertise ensured that the project was completed efficiently while meeting our engineering standards.
Professional installation guidance not only shortened the installation period but also reduced the risk of assembly errors, allowing the customer to begin production with confidence.
Healthy Pullets Today Mean Higher Egg Production Tomorrow
For commercial layer farms, the goal of a pullet house is not simply to raise chickens—it is to produce healthy, uniform birds that will perform well throughout the laying cycle.
After the equipment was commissioned, the customer successfully introduced the pullets into the new houses. The automated systems quickly demonstrated their value during daily management.
Compared with traditional rearing methods, the H-Type automatic pullet cage system provided several immediate advantages:
- More uniform feeding, resulting in better flock consistency.
- Reduced labor requirements through automated daily operations.
- Cleaner housing environment with lower ammonia levels.
- Easier flock observation and health management.
- Stable growing conditions that prepare birds for high laying performance.
For farms planning long-term commercial egg production, improving pullet quality is one of the most effective ways to increase future profitability.
What Poultry Investors Can Learn from This Project
This project highlights several important lessons for anyone planning a modern pullet-rearing farm.
Start with scientific planning instead of purchasing equipment first.
A properly designed cage layout improves ventilation, simplifies daily management, and leaves sufficient space for maintenance and future expansion.
Choose automation that reduces operating costs over the long term.
Automatic feeding, drinking, and manure removal systems help reduce labor costs while creating a healthier growing environment for pullets.
Work with a supplier that provides engineering support.
Professional installation guidance helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures every automatic system performs as designed.
Think beyond today’s production.
Investing in high-quality pullet rearing creates stronger laying hens, higher egg production, and better long-term returns throughout the entire production cycle.
