Introducing the ROVA BARN
At Hale Malu Farms, we are always looking for practical systems that can help agriculture scale with less labor, better animal management, and smarter use of land. That is why we are excited about the ROVA|BARN, an automated mobile pasture barn designed to move livestock onto fresh ground while integrating feeding, watering, ventilation, and remote monitoring into one working system. UKKÖ Robotics markets the ROVA|BARN as a self-moving barn with onboard feed and water, live data, app tracking, and automated controls built to support pasture-based production.
How We Plan to Use It at Hale Malu
Our plan is to use the ROVA BARN as part of a future-ready poultry system at Hale Malu Farms, especially for pasture-based layer and broiler management. We see it as a strong fit for operations that need cleaner rotation, reduced daily labor, more consistent flock care, and a more efficient way to combine mobility with protection and automation. Because UKKÖ says the system is designed for poultry and offers add-ons for layers and brooding, we believe it aligns well with our hatchery, egg, and grow-out goals.
Why It Matters
For Hale Malu, the ROVA BARN represents more than equipment. It represents a smarter model for modern agriculture in Hawai‘i—one that supports pasture use, animal welfare, labor efficiency, and scalable farm design. UKKÖ positions the system around pasture-raised livestock and regenerative farming, with daily movement intended to improve access to fresh forage while reducing manual chores.
Offering the ROVA BARN Through Hale Malu
As Hale Malu grows, we would like to help introduce innovative systems like the ROVA|BARN to other farms, homesteads, and agricultural projects looking for practical automation solutions. Our interest is not only in using this technology within our own operation, but also in making advanced farm infrastructure more visible and more accessible to growers who want modern, pasture-based systems.

UKKÖ Robotics | Automated Farming Solutions for Pasture-Raised Livestock
ROVA BARN
At Hale Malu Farms, we are interested in practical technology that helps farms do more with better animal care, lower daily labor, and smarter pasture management. The ROVA|BARN is an automated mobile pasture barn designed by UKKÖ Robotics for pasture-based livestock systems. UKKÖ says the lineup is suitable for poultry, including broilers, layers, and larger birds, and that the system can be configured with add-ons such as a brooding attachment for chicks and an automatic nesting box attachment for layers.
What makes the ROVA BARN especially compelling is the way it combines movement, protection, and automation in one working unit. UKKÖ describes the system as self-moving and app-configured, with onboard cameras, live data, movement scheduling, temperature control, water and feed updates, and a predator-protection skirt with electrified fabric wires.
For Hale Malu, the ROVA BARN represents a future-ready approach to poultry production. We see it as a strong fit for pasture-based layers, broilers, and integrated farm planning where mobility, efficiency, and flock oversight all matter.
