Egypt’s Security Forces Modernise Broiler Farming with HATO Lighting

In the demanding world of broiler farming, even the smallest improvements can have a profound impact on productivity and animal welfare.

For the broiler farm affiliated with the Egyptian Central Security Forces, lighting had long been a source of frustration - until they discovered a smarter solution.

Outdated Lighting, Ongoing Challenges

Before switching to HATO’s innovative lighting system, the farm relied on outdated traditional bulbs. These old lights were more than just inefficient; they were a daily challenge. As Officer Engineer Amjad Mohamed recalls:

“The old system used traditional bulbs that were difficult to control and caused stress for the birds, especially at older ages.”



Farm managers struggled to adjust light levels, often ending up with uneven distribution across the houses. The lack of precision meant the birds were uncomfortable, stressed, and less productive, making it harder to maintain optimal feed conversion rates.

For this farm, the switch to HATO lighting wasn’t just an upgrade - bit was a transformation. The results were immediate and measurable

A Game-Changer: Installing HATO’s Advanced Lighting System

Everything changed when the farm made the decision to install HATO’s advanced lighting solution. For the first time, the team experienced complete control over light intensity and scheduling.

“The lighting system is top-notch - highly efficient, easy to use, and very cost-effective compared to what we gain from it,” said Lieutenant Mohamed Abu Elyazeed.

“One standout feature is the auto-adjustment: every day, the system recalibrates the lighting exactly as I need. It gives me the perfect light schedule with even distribution across the houses.”

Results That Speak for Themselves

Not only did the new system reduce bird stress and improve comfort, but it also directly enhanced productivity - a result that speaks for itself.

Why HATO?

HATO stood out because it offered more than just better bulbs. It delivered:

•    Precision: Effortless control of lux and intensity
•    Automation: Daily auto-adjustment of lighting schedules
•    Animal Welfare: Reduced stress and improved behavior
•    Efficiency: Better feed conversion and lower operational costs

For this farm, the switch to HATO lighting wasn’t just an upgrade - bit was a transformation. The results were immediate and measurable: calmer birds, higher productivity, and a system the entire team could trust.

This successful transformation wouldn’t have been possible without the support of United Co. for Poultry Packaging and Equipment (UTC)

If your farm is still relying on outdated lighting, perhaps it’s time to see what HATO can do for you.
