This study compares payback periods for semi‑automated (auto feeders only) and fully automated (feeders + ventilation + manure removal) floor rearing systems in a 10,000‑bird house. Semi‑automated equipment costs $8,000–$10,000, saving 70% of feeding labor and 5% of feed waste. Fully automated systems cost $25,000–$30,000 but eliminate 90% of labor and reduce feed waste by 9%, besides improving environment and mortality.
Annual savings: semi‑automated = $10,500 (labor $8,000 + feed $2,500); fully automated = $19,200 (labor $12,000 + feed $4,500 + mortality/medication $2,700). Payback: semi‑automated = 10 months; fully automated = 17 months.
The payback gap is about 7 months. Despite higher upfront cost, fully automated offers larger long‑term savings (83% more annually) after breakeven. For farms with capital and technical support, full automation yields superior lifetime value.
