Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) is emerging as an innovative procurement model in the livestock industry, particularly in automated poultry farming. Instead of large upfront investments, farmers can access advanced equipment such as feeding systems, ventilation units, and water supply systems through subscription-based or pay-per-use models. This approach significantly reduces financial pressure and allows small and medium-sized farms to adopt modern technologies more easily.

From a feasibility perspective, EaaS providers benefit from long-term service contracts and recurring revenue streams, while farmers gain access to continuous technical support, maintenance, and upgrades. This ensures higher operational efficiency and reduced downtime. Moreover, data-driven management systems integrated into EaaS solutions enhance productivity and disease control.

Market acceptance is gradually increasing, especially in regions with high labor costs and strong demand for efficiency. However, concerns remain regarding service reliability and long-term costs. Overall, EaaS represents a promising direction for sustainable and scalable agricultural modernization.
