In Zambia, the livestock sector is a cornerstone of rural livelihoods, yet many farmers still rely on semi-manual husbandry equipment. The region's distinct wet and dry seasons create significant thermal stress for animals, necessitating more robust environmental control systems within the farm structure.
The adoption of a professional poultry pen house has become a priority for commercial growers in provinces like Lusaka and Central Province to combat high mortality rates caused by poor ventilation and hygiene.
While small-scale farming dominates, there is a rapid shift toward integrating advanced equipment in poultry farm management to meet the growing domestic demand for protein and reduce dependence on imports.
