In the heart of Tanzania, agriculture is not just a way of life—it’s a way of keeping the country’s economy thriving. Poultry farming, in particular, has seen significant growth in recent years. With the introduction of automated equipment, farmers are reaping the rewards of increased efficiency and productivity. We caught up with some of these farmers to hear about their experiences.

The Transition to Automation

John Mwangangi, a poultry farmer from Dar es Salaam, remembers the days of manually handling every aspect of his farm. “It was backbreaking work,” he says. “From feeding the chickens to cleaning the coops, everything had to be done by hand.”

It wasn’t until he invested in automated poultry equipment that he realized the true potential of his farm. “The first thing I installed was an automated feeding system,” John explains. “It was a game-changer. Now, the chickens are fed at set times, and I don’t have to worry about running out of feed or overfeeding them.”

Efficiency and Consistency

Fatuma Kibarungi, another Tanzanian farmer, agrees that efficiency is key. “With manual feeding, there was always a risk of inconsistency,” she says. “Some chickens would get more feed than others, and that affected their growth.”

The automated feeding system that Fatuma installed has eliminated these issues. “Now, every chicken gets the exact amount of feed they need, and there’s no waste,” she adds. “It’s not just more efficient; it’s also more cost-effective.”

Health and Welfare

Poultry health is paramount in the farming industry, and automated equipment can play a crucial role in maintaining optimal conditions. “Before we had automated cleaning systems, we were constantly battling with diseases,” says Muktar Kassim, a farmer from Mwanza. “Now, the coops are cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis, which has significantly reduced the incidence of illness among our chickens.”

Automated systems are also designed to create a comfortable environment for the poultry. “The ventilation systems ensure that the chickens are well-ventilated, which is essential for their health,” Muktar continues. “And with automated temperature control, we can maintain the ideal conditions for growth at all times.”

Training and Support

While automated equipment offers numerous benefits, it’s important to note that it’s not just about the technology itself. Training and support are key to ensuring that farmers can make the most of their new systems. “Livi Mechanical Equipment provided us with comprehensive training,” says John. “They showed us how to operate the equipment and how to maintain it properly.”

Fatuma echoes these sentiments. “The support from Livi has been excellent,” she says. “We’ve had a few issues, but their team has been quick to respond and help us resolve them.”

The Future of Poultry Farming in Tanzania

The experiences of Tanzanian farmers with automated equipment are just the beginning. As technology continues to advance, there’s no doubt that poultry farming in Tanzania will become even more efficient and sustainable.

“The future looks promising,” Muktar concludes. “With the right tools and support, we can continue to improve our farming practices and contribute to the growth of our country’s poultry industry.”
