Abstract

Tangshan City Fengrun District Free Eggs Farmers' Cooperative is committed to raising high-quality free-range laying hens while maintaining ecological sustainability. Although having no professional experience in animal welfare faming, the cooperative studied the principles, independently developed a fully automated farming management technology, localized international welfare farming systems, and achieved automated chicken coop management at an extremely low cost. The practices, being innovative, replicable, and scalable, are valuable references for small farm owners.
