Modern poultry farm in Zambia: A success story with MiniMax feeders

26 May 2025 | Int. Livestockhousing Guide |

When EcoDome’s valued client chose to expand their agricultural operations into poultry farming, they envisioned establishing a modern, efficient, and durable operation. Located in Lusaka, Zambia, they built their poultry farm entirely from scratch, starting with three houses capable of housing up to 50,000 broilers. Their motivation stemmed from the growing demand for high-quality poultry products in the Zambian market and the desire to diversify their business. With plans to expand further in the future, they knew the right equipment would be key to their success.

Discovering Roxell and MiniMax feeders
The client first learned about Roxell, and the MiniMax feeder pans through EcoDome, their trusted agricultural equipment supplier. Roxell’s strong reputation for quality and innovation in the poultry farming community further reinforced their confidence, making MiniMax feeders the ideal choice for their new venture.

Why MiniMax feeders?
In Zambia, many poultry farms still operate with outdated manual feeders and drinkers. EcoDome’s client wanted to move away from this traditional setup and establish a streamlined, automated farm. After hearing positive feedback from other farmers about automatic feeding equipment, they opted for Roxell’s MiniMax feeders, confident in the benefits they would bring.

Transforming the feeding process
The implementation of MiniMax feeders has revolutionized the farm’s feeding operations. Feed is consistently available across the entire flock, streamlining processes and reducing labor requirements. This level of efficiency has led to healthier, more uniform birds and productive day-to-day farm management.

Key benefits observed

  • Feed waste reduction: The precise control and spill-reducing design of MiniMax feeders have minimized feed waste, maximizing feed investment.
  • Improved bird access: The feeders ensure all birds, regardless of size, have access to feed without overcrowding, promoting uniform growth.
  • Easy maintenance: The feeders’ durable and easy-to-clean design saves time, allowing the farm team to focus on other priorities.

Streamlined Maintenance for Maximum Efficiency
One of the standout advantages of the MiniMax feeders has been the simplicity of maintenance. The robust design ensures that the feeders are highly durable, even under intensive use, while the easy-to-clean features save significant time during routine upkeep. This efficiency allows the farm team to focus on other critical tasks, improving overall productivity. By minimizing maintenance requirements without compromising functionality, the MiniMax feeders contribute to a smoother and more cost-effective operation.

Enhanced bird growth and welfare
The even and consistent distribution of feed has significantly contributed to the birds’ healthy growth. Stress levels in the flock have decreased due to reliable feed access, leading to improved weight gain and the consistent achievement of production targets.

A recommendation worth sharing
EcoDome’s client would enthusiastically recommend Roxell products to other poultry farmers. They highlighted the durability, efficiency, and innovative design of Roxell solutions as key reasons for their satisfaction. They see Roxell as a reliable partner and the best choice for modern poultry farming.

This success story showcases how, with the right equipment and support from a trusted distributor like EcoDome, a vision for innovation can transform a poultry farm into a thriving, efficient operation.
