Retech upgrades chicken house designs in Nigeria

Poultry farm modernisation solution provider for Nigerian farmers, Retech Farming, can convert traditional layer houses into modern automated systems

The company provides integrated automated layer farming systems. Higher-density housing, automated equipment and controlled production environments replace open-style Type A simple cages with a limited capacity for 5,000 chickens. 

While this works for small-scale startups requiring low initial investment and technical requirements for quick construction, this conventional method relies on natural ventilation, manual feeding and egg collection. It comes with stocking density and space limitations, even when labour costs remain high. There's no way of contolling temperature stability and humidity, making egg production uncertain and prone to diseases.

Retech Farming offers:

- Traditional chicken house assessment

- Chicken house design upgrade

- Steel structure construction

- H-type layer hen cage system

- Automatic feeding, watering, manure removal and egg collection system

- Environmental control system

- Installation and commissioning

These services support the transition from traditional poultry houses to integrated automated layer farming systems.

From 5,000 traditional open A-type cages to 50,000 chickens in a single building increases breeding scale by 10 times. The closed H-type multi-tier fully automatic layer cages maximise land utilisation through cascading design. This dramatically boosts egg production per unit area while reducing unit egg production costs.

Retech’s closed steel structure chicken coop, combined with an automatic environmental control system, can isolate wild birds and mosquitoes, reduce the risk of disease invasion such as avian influenza, and provide more precise temperature and humidity control.

This approach can help stabilise the egg production rate and extend the peak egg production period. 

Retech aims to revolutionise Nigeria’s egg-laying hen industry by ensuring eggshell cleanliness, size uniformity, and uninteruppted supply. Its real-world farm upgrade project will help core consumer markets like Lagos and Abuja meet increasingly stringent sourcing standards.
