Case Study: Deep Litter System Farm in the Philippines
In 2024, a poultry farm in the Philippines successfully implemented a modern Deep Litter System for their Freedom Raising Chicken operation. The farm, designed to house 38,000 chickens in a single building, measures 138×16×3 meters. This system aligns with sustainable and welfare-focused farming practices, providing a spacious and comfortable environment for the chickens to move freely.
The farm is equipped with advanced automatic main stock line systems, automatic pan-feeding systems, automatic drinking systems, a plastic floor system, and a comprehensive environmental control system. These technologies ensure efficient feed distribution, clean drinking water, proper waste management, and precise control over temperature and humidity. The plastic flooring system offers durability and hygiene, preventing direct contact with waste and ensuring healthier living conditions for the birds.
Hightop provided a complete solution, including design, installation, and operational support. By integrating these modern technologies, the farm has significantly increased efficiency while maintaining high standards of animal welfare. This setup has enabled the farm to achieve consistent productivity, reduce labor costs, and create a healthier and more sustainable farming environment.
