On 11 month 3 day, workers in the organic fertilizer processing workshop at the Yizhou District Smart Layer Hen Industry Park were busy hoisting chicken manure mixing equipment, connecting pipelines, and conducting commissioning.As construction of the supporting project for resource utilization of manure and wastewater picks up pace, the park is about to complete its green crop-livestock cycle of “raising livestock—manure and wastewater treatment—returning organic fertilizer to fields.”
Inside the industrial park, rows of standardized, enclosed chicken houses are neatly arranged. Equipment for automatic feeding, intelligent environmental control, online disease monitoring, enclosed manure removal, and automated egg collection operates continuously, keeping the laying hens’ growing environment stable and controllable. As a modern smart layer-hen breeding base that leads the Dongjiang area in scale, the park’s laying-hen stock is steadily increasing, and fresh eggs are continuously supplied to Hami and markets across Xinjiang.

Improving quality and efficiency through large-scale breeding must go hand in hand with manure treatment. In the past, transporting and storing chicken manure not only increased costs but also posed a risk of non-point source pollution. To address a gap in the industrial chain, the industrial park has built an organic fertilizer production line, equipped with fermentation, mixing, screening, and packaging facilities. After fresh chicken manure is collected centrally through enclosed pipes, fermentation additives and specialized microbial strains are added before it enters thehigh-temperature aerobic fermentationprocess. After being composted, sterilized, and cleared of impurities, it becomes safe, standards-compliant bio-organic fertilizer, truly achieving manure treatment within the park, harmless disposal on site, and resource utilization.

“Manure becomes fertilizer, solving livestock farming’s environmental challenges on one end and serving nearby crop growers on the other.”Xu Shengli, production director of the Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park, explained that after the project begins operation, the organic fertilizer produced will be given priority to nearby orchards, grain fields, and vegetable-growing areas in Yizhou District. It will replace some chemical fertilizers, improve soil structure in the Gobi region, and enhance the quality of agricultural products, creating a two-way circular model in which “layer chicken farming produces manure, manure is fermented into fertilizer, and organic fertilizer enriches the soil and increases yields.”

For the park, developing fertilizer products broadens revenue streams; for growers, it provides convenient access to affordable ecological organic fertilizer, creating mutual benefits for both crop farming and livestock production, with ecological and economic benefits accruing in tandem.
The Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park is a key agricultural investment attraction project in Yizhou District, with a total investment of nearly 2 hundred million yuan. It is planned as a modern agricultural complex integrating smart farming, egg supply, resource utilization of manure and wastewater, and industry-academia-research demonstrations. It can provide stable employment for nearby residents and support the development of rural industries.
Next, the agricultural and rural affairs authorities of Yizhou District will use the Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park as a model, promote proven approaches to the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure and wastewater, and guide local farming entities in upgrading toward standardized, intelligent, and circular operations. They will establish channels for applying organic fertilizer to farmland and encourage more livestock and poultry farming waste to be returned to nearby farmland for use, continuously strengthening the green foundation of the livestock industry and providing sustained momentum for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in Yizhou District.
Xinjiang Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park Project
The main business of the Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park is smart layer chicken farming and the production and sale of fresh eggs. The operating company, Xinjiang Shenghayuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., has a business scope covering poultry farming, food production, and sales. Extending the industrial chain around layer chicken farming, the park processes manure generated by farming into high-quality organic fertilizer at its organic fertilizer plant. The fertilizer is widely used for farming in the surrounding fields, forming a green crop-livestock cycle of “manure from farming—manure processed into fertilizer—fertilizer boosts crop production.”
The Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park is located in Baiyanggou Village, Tianshan Township, Yizhou District, Hami City, Xinjiang. It is a key agricultural industry project attracting investment in Yizhou District, built and invested in by Xinjiang Shenghayuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 1.99 billion yuan. The park integrates large-scale, standardized, digitalized, and intelligent operations, with automated processes for feeding, environmental control, egg collection, and manure removal.
The project broke ground on 2024 year 5 month 13 day and received environmental impact assessment approval on 12 month 27 day of the same year. Once operating at full capacity, it can stably keep more than 90 ten thousand laying hens, produce 3.4 hundred million eggs annually, and achieve an annual output value of 1.6 hundred million yuan. The park is advancing supporting projects such as an organic fertilizer plant to establish a closed-loop green crop-livestock cycle of “manure from farming—manure processed into fertilizer—fertilizer boosts crop production.”
On 2026 year 2 month 28 day, the Yizhou District Smart Layer Chicken Industrial Park switched to full-scale production. The park has raised 10 ten thousand chicks, housed across 2 standardized chick barns. According to the farming cycle, these chicks will be transferred to layer barns in about 70 days, enter the egg-laying period in about 110 days, and reach peak egg production in 180 days. At that point, they can produce an average of 9.5 ten thousand eggs, or approximately 5.8 tons, per day.In 2026 year 4 month, Yizhou District provided the industrial park with “concierge-style” services. The local government established a “1+1+N” service mechanism, assigning the project a dedicated chief coordinator and bringing together multiple departments to provide a one-stop, full-process agency service—from preliminary consultation, site selection, and project filing to construction and completion acceptance. It also introduced a “one comprehensive inspection” enforcement model, implemented policies such as tax and fee reductions and agricultural subsidies, opened a green channel for direct access to tax benefits, and established a government-enterprise communication platform.
In 2026 year 6 month, construction advanced on the organic fertilizer plant, a key supporting project for the park’s green circular development. All foundation works were completed, and the project moved fully into the earth backfilling stage. Installation of the steel-structure factory building was about to begin. According to the construction plan, the project was expected to be fully completed on 7 month 10 day, with organic fertilizer production officially starting in mid-8 month. In 2026 year 9 month, the steel-structure factory building at the organic fertilizer plant had been installed, and auxiliary facilities were under construction. The project was expected to be fully completed on 2026 year 9 month 20 day. Once operational, chicken manure will be processed into high-quality organic fertilizer using specialized processes and widely applied to farming in the surrounding fields, forming a closed-loop green crop-livestock cycle of “manure from farming—manure processed into fertilizer—fertilizer boosts crop production.”
