Production
Production process
Each cycle consists of 15 days of preparation and about 45 days of grow-out. The farm runs 6 cycles a year, 24 hours a day during each cycle, using a floor system with wood-shaving litter.
House preparation
Equipment is taken out and litter removed. The house is washed, disinfected and fumigated. New litter is laid (4 cm in summer, 6 cm in winter) and the house is pre-heated 24–48 hours before placement at 60% humidity.
Chick placement
The delivery vehicle is disinfected. Chicks are counted and placed within 6–12 hours of hatching, and records are opened.
Grow-out
Free feeding is applied. Air vents stay closed for the first two days and ventilation starts on day 3. Vaccines are given via drinking water.
Weighing & records
Birds are weighed weekly. Bird count, daily mortality, temperature, humidity, vaccination dates and feed use are recorded and kept for at least 3 years.
Dispatch
After a pre-slaughter health check, birds are sent to the integrator’s slaughterhouse and preparation for the next cycle begins.
Nutrition
Feeding programme
Feed is supplied by the integrated company in three phases, with mineral and vitamin premixes, lysine, methionine, threonine and enzyme premixes.
