Modernizing Poultry Production in Senegal with 86,400-Egg Capacity High-Precision Incubation System
Market Background & Project Overview
As the poultry sector in West Africa shifts toward industrialization, producers in Senegal are increasingly seeking reliable, high-capacity solutions to stabilize hatch rates despite volatile ambient conditions. Wuxi ONELYE recently completed the export of a comprehensive hatchery system to Senegal, designed to provide a centralized and automated production environment. This project highlights our 40 years of expertise in manufacturing egg incubators that meet rigorous international standards.
Client & Application Scenario
The client required a scalable solution to manage a high-volume throughput of over 80,000 eggs per cycle. The primary challenge in the Senegalese climate is maintaining consistent internal temperatures and humidity. The application demanded equipment that could withstand corrosion and provide 24/7 operational stability with minimal manual intervention.
The ONELYE Technical Solution
We deployed a high-performance configuration consisting of 12 ELT-57600S setters and 8 ELT-28800H hatchers, supported by a complete auxiliary ecosystem:
Advanced Environmental Control: The ELT-57600S setters include an integrated CO2 control function that automatically manages ventilation based on real-time measurements to ensure optimal embryo development.
Industrial-Grade Insulation: Cabinets are constructed from high-quality 75mm (setters) and 48mm (hatchers) Fiberglass panels with XPS foam cores, providing superior anti-corrosion and thermal insulation properties.
Component Reliability: Critical control parts feature world-renowned brands, including Schneider main switches and Siemens fan relays.
Redundancy for Safety: Every machine is equipped with a backup control system to maintain operation in the event of a primary controller failure.
Automated Auxiliary Workflow: The solution includes vacuum egg lifters (0.37KW), chick automatic injectors with 0.01ml dosage accuracy, and a high-pressure hatcher basket washer (300-400 baskets/hour).

Client Feedback & Delivery
The entire system, totaling 257,750 USD (EXW), was loaded into seven 40HQ containers for secure transit to Senegal. The client specifically noted the efficiency of the Central Control System, which allows office-based monitoring of up to 200 machines via wireless connection, providing real-time failure alarms.
Summary
Through this project, Wuxi ONELYE demonstrated that "consistency" is achieved through parametric precision. By utilizing 304 stainless steel components, AirTAC pneumatic systems, and high-accuracy Pt1000 sensors, we ensure that our West African partners can achieve predictable, high-yield results in any climate.
In 2025, our company successfully delivered and commissioned 10 Single Stage Incubators for a major poultry enterprise in Iraq. Each machine offers a capacity of 57,600 eggs, providing a total incubation capability of over 576,000 eggs. This project strengthens Iraq’s domestic chick supply and meets the country’s growing demand for both broilers and layers.
Technical Highlights
Energy Efficiency – Advanced airflow circulation and insulation keep operations stable and low-energy, even in Iraq’s hot climate.
Smart Control – Fully automated regulation of temperature, humidity, and CO₂ ensures uniform embryo development and consistently high hatch rates.
Easy Maintenance – Stainless-steel interiors and automatic cleaning features reduce labor costs and enhance biosecurity.
Customer Feedback
Since commissioning, the hatchery has maintained a hatch rate exceeding 98% while cutting energy expenses by about 15%. Local operators noted that intelligent remote monitoring simplifies daily management and saves both time and labor.
Market Impact
This project not only boosts Iraq’s poultry production capacity but also serves as a model for efficient hatchery operations throughout the Middle East, supporting regional agricultural modernization.
To meet Kenya’s rapidly growing demand for quality chicks, in 2025 our company delivered 20 Single Stage Incubators, each with a capacity of 19,200 eggs, providing a total incubation capacity of over 380,000 eggs. This installation strengthens local chick supply and drives Kenya’s poultry industry toward smarter and larger-scale production.
Technology & Service Highlights
Intelligent Climate Control – Automated regulation of temperature and humidity ensures uniform embryo development and high hatchability.
Energy Efficiency – Optimized airflow and insulation enable low energy consumption, even in Kenya’s tropical climate.
Localized Support – On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training, plus rapid after-sales service, guarantee long-term reliability.
Customer Feedback & Market Impact
Since commissioning, the customer has reported a hatch rate of around 98% and a 15%+ reduction in energy costs. This project sets a benchmark for high-efficiency incubation in Kenya and across East Africa, boosting farmer incomes and advancing the regional poultry sector.
