We recently joined THE 23RD CHINA ANIMAL HUSBANDRY EXPO (CAHE 2026) in Chengdu. This year’s event gave us a crystal-clear feeling:
The global poultry industry is becoming more professional, more automated, and much more focused on long-term quality.
This year, we saw a substantial increase in international visitors to our booth compared to past years. Visitors from all corners of the world came by. They came from the Philippines, Bangladesh, Russia, Indonesia, Venezuela, Kenya, and Tanzania, plus others. Seeing such a diverse group of customers interested in what we have to offer was great.
Some people were thinking about starting new chicken-raising projects. Others wanted to improve the equipment on their current farms. They were looking to update their systems to make their farms work better.
One point we observed quite distinctly:
Most buyers are no longer only asking, “What’s the price?”
Now they care more about:
● Product quality
● Automation performance
● Equipment lifespan
● Farm operating efficiency
● Installation support
● After-sales service
In running a poultry farm, what matters most is keeping everything running smoothly. It's not just about buying the cheapest equipment you can find.
At the exhibition, many visitors spent a long time checking small details on the equipment.
They asked questions about:
● Galvanized coating thickness
● Cage structure stability
● Automatic feeding systems
● Ventilation performance
● Corrosion resistance
● Manure cleaning efficiency
● Installation methods
For people who live in sweltering, humid places, chicken farming equipment must work well in that climate. It needs to handle the heat and humidity. If the equipment is not good quality, the heat and humidity can severely damage it quickly.
Some people had terrible experiences with other suppliers before. They faced rust issues, weak cages, broken feeding systems, and poor support after purchase.
Because of this, buyers are becoming more careful when choosing poultry farm equipment suppliers.
One of the most pressing issues that got a lot of attention this year was making poultry farming more automated.
Labor costs keep rising in many countries, so more farm owners want automatic poultry equipment.
This equipment can cut labor needs and improve management efficiency.
At our booth, customers showed strong interest in:
● Automatic feeding systems
● Automatic egg collection systems
● Environmental control systems
● Automatic manure removal systems
● Smart poultry monitoring equipment
One interesting topic was inspection robots used inside poultry houses. Many visitors were curious about how these systems can monitor chicken activity and help detect health problems earlier.
Smart poultry farming is becoming increasingly important for large-scale farms.
Another thing we noticed at CAHE 2026 is that more customers now prefer complete poultry farm solutions. They prefer this over buying products separately.
Rather than sourcing from multiple suppliers, many buyers want one company that can provide:
● Poultry house buildings
● Layer cage systems
● Broiler farming systems
● Feeding and drinking systems
● Ventilation and cooling systems
● Automatic poultry equipment
● Installation guidance
This makes project management easier and helps reduce communication problems during installation.
For overseas projects especially, customers prefer suppliers who understand both poultry house construction and poultry farming equipment integration.
A highlight this year was that many customers booked factory tours.
They scheduled the tours right after the exhibition.
Several clients told us they wanted to see:
● Real production workshops
● Manufacturing processes
● Existing project cases
● Quality inspection standards
● Installation details
Actual poultry equipment production lines
For B2B buyers, factory visits are still one of the best ways to assess a supplier’s real capabilities.
Over the next few weeks, more overseas customers will visit our factory. They will discuss poultry farm projects and automatic poultry farming solutions in more detail.
This exhibition showed us that the poultry industry is changing rapidly.
Customers today are more experienced, more practical, and more focused on long-term farm performance.
They value:
● Stable operation
● Automation efficiency
● Product durability
● Professional technical support
● Long-term cooperation
For poultry equipment manufacturers, this means quality and engineering capability are becoming more important than ever.
