Largest single stage PS hatchery in W. Europe
Parent Stock hatchery Ross EPI, part of the Aviagen
Group, has completed a refurbishment of its Dutch hatchery operations, working
with single stage hatchery specialists Pas Reform.
Situated in Roermond, Ross EPI's Dutch hatchery has been refurbished with
the latest in single stage equipment and technologies. The new installation
includes a full single stage Smart incubation system, comprising SmartSetâ„¢
setters and SmartHatchâ„¢ hatchers, combined with a SmartDriveâ„¢ incubator control
system, to accommodate the management of individual conditions per egg type and
SmartCenterâ„¢, Pas Reform's powerful hatchery management information
system.
The newly updated hatchery has a total capacity of more than 10 million
female chicks each year, making Ross EPI the largest Parent Stock hatchery in
Western Europe. Ross EPI's refurbishment is a strategic expansion project for
Aviagen, with the company focusing not only on supplying top class day-old
breeders for the Western European market, but also now extending deliveries to
Poland and selected central European markets.
