The project spans 480.86 mu (32.1 hectares) and has a total investment of 270 million yuan ($37.58 million). Designed to house 1.2 million chickens, it includes a farm for 300,000 young chickens, a farm for 900,000 laying hens, an egg and feed processing plant, an organic fertilizer factory, and a sewage treatment facility. Equipped with advanced automation, it is the largest integrated laying hen project in Ordos.

"Our farm will purchase 27,000 metric tons of corn annually from local farmers, solving their sales challenges," said Wang Dawei, the project manager. "We will further integrate with the local economy and upgrade the industrial chain to benefit both the company and the community."

The eggs will be sold to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. At full capacity, the project is expected to generate 260 million yuan in annual output, create 1,000 jobs, and drive growth in both upstream and downstream industries, making a significant contribution to rural vitalization.
