Storyline: Smart equipment facilitates chicken egg production in China [Voice_over] In Dezhou City of east China's Shandong Province, chicken farmers are using automated equipment to make their daily tasks easier. Machinery at this farm feeds laying hens, collects their eggs and cleans their coop. The farm's owner has also installed air conditioning equipment, which he says improves the number of eggs that the hens lay. He said under the proper temperature and humidity conditions, 60,000 hens should be laying about 3,000 kilos of eggs per day. [Sound_bite] Liu Yousheng, chicken farmer: "In summer, I install air conditioners to cool off to the standard temperature. Feed intake of laying hens is stable, and egg production is about 92 percent. Smart equipment can save labour costs from ten workers to three." [Voice_over] Data shows that the country's laying hen farmers made more money last year than in the past five. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
