In the present paper, we present a detailed discussion on the hadronic production of $\Xi_{cc}$ at a fixed target experiment at the LHC (After@LHC). The charm components in the incident hadrons could be either extrinsic or intrinsic. In addition to our previously considered production mechanisms [Phys.Rev.D{\bf 89}, 074020(2014)], we show that if taking the intrinsic charm into account and setting the proportion of intrinsic charm in a proton as $A_{\rm in}=1\%$ , total cross-sections for the $g+c$ and $c+c$ production mechanisms shall be increased by about two times. Thus the number of $\Xi_{cc}$ events to be generated can be greatly enhanced. Since the total cross sections and differential distributions for the $\Xi_{cc}$ production at the After@LHC are sensitive to the value of $A_{\rm in}$, the After@LHC could be a good platform for testing the idea of intrinsic charm.
