Donguté Layers

As the fifth pillar of the Donguté Group, we built our commercial layer farm to prove that eggs are not just food – they are daily cash flow. Our layer unit houses thousands of high-performance Isa Brown and Lohmann Brown layers, scientifically selected for early maturity, high peak production, and exceptional egg quality. This is not a seasonal business like broilers; this is a 78-week continuous income system engineered for maximum efficiency and zero downtime.

Efficiency in layers is measured in one thing: eggs per bird per year, and we have mastered that equation. Because we control everything from Pillar 1 to Pillar 3, our layers are unbeatable. They are hatched from Donguté Hatchery (Pillar 2) with superior genetics, raised on our precision-formulated Donguté Chick Mash and Grower Mash (Pillar 1) for perfect body frame development, and protected by our strict vaccination protocol from Donguté Vet Pharma (Pillar 3). The result is extraordinary: our pullets start laying at just 18 to 19 weeks, hit a peak production of 96% to 98%, and sustain above 90% production for over 40 weeks. Each bird produces 300 to 320 premium brown eggs per cycle, with strong shells, deep golden yolks, and large sizes that customers pay more for.

Our management system is built for zero waste and maximum profit per egg. We operate a modern battery cage and deep litter hybrid system with automated nipple drinking, timed feeding, and 16-hour lighting programs that stimulate consistent laying without stressing the birds. Every egg is collected three times daily, graded by weight, cleaned, and stored in a cool, ventilated egg store to guarantee freshness and reduce breakage to below 1%. Our feed efficiency is industry-leading – we produce a crate of 30 eggs with just 6.5kg to 7kg of our Super Layer Mash, while our competitors use 8kg to 9kg. With our integrated feed mill, we keep feed costs 15% to 20% lower than the market, meaning your profit per crate is always higher.

We have also solved the biggest challenge in layer farming: the market. Eggs are the most consumed animal protein in Cameroon, with daily demand from bakeries, hotels, restaurants, schools, supermarkets, and households across the South West, Littoral, and West Regions. Donguté Layer Farm supplies over 100,000 eggs monthly to a secured network of wholesale buyers and we operate on a pre-order system, so no eggs stay unsold for more than 24 hours. For farmers in our Layer Out-Grower Program, we offer guaranteed market linkage, bulk egg tray supply, and price stabilization support during market fluctuations. One crate of eggs currently sells for 2,500+ FCFA (∼$4.37) to 2,700 FCFA (∼$4.72), giving our farmers a consistent daily income that broilers cannot match.

Ultimately, Donguté Layer Farm is your pension, your daily bank, and your path to financial freedom. It represents our philosophy of sustainable wealth – while broilers give you lump-sum profit in 6 weeks, layers give you money every single morning for 18 months straight. It is the perfect complement to Pillar 4 (Broiler Farm), ensuring that even after you sell your broilers, your layer unit is still paying your workers and feeding your family daily. When you partner with Donguté Group, you are not just buying layers; you are buying a proven, highly efficient, and daily profitable egg production system that has been tested for 7+ years on our own farm, backed by our complete value chain. With Donguté Layers, you are guaranteed early lay, high peak, long persistence, and non-stop profit.
