One day old chick expert
Characteristic and distinctive as a partner in the field of hatching eggs and day-old chicks for meat poultry farmers, hatcheries and exporters for more than 40 years.
1. Multiplication
Our day-old chicks originate from carefully selected breeders in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Here, mother animals receive the best care with balanced feed, optimal climate conditions and a responsible vaccination schedule. Through intensive animal health management, we ensure strong hatching eggs that form the basis for healthy chicks.
2. Transport
Every day, we collect hatching eggs with care from our breeders. Transport takes place in clean, specially equipped vehicles that are fully tailored to the breeding process. This way, the eggs remain protected and can safely continue their way to the next step in their development.
3. Pre-incubate
In our partner hatcheries, we bring the natural breeding process to life with extreme precision and care. The eggs are carefully disinfected and placed in incubators so that they get the best possible start. Automatic turning of the eggs prevents developmental anomalies and ensures uniform growth.
4. Outcome and vaccination
After 18 days, the eggs are checked using infrared technology. Only fertilized eggs advance to the hatching hives, where in ovo vaccination is possible. Three days later, the chicks hatch, after which they are carefully picked up and - if desired - receive a customized vaccination. With this preventive care system, we support poultry farmers in reducing antibiotic use and promoting animal-friendly business practices.
5. Transport to the customer
Our day-old chicks are delivered across Europe and beyond. This is done in specially equipped, conditioned vehicles driven by certified drivers. Thanks to modern climate systems, temperature, humidity and CO₂ are kept under control. This way, the chicks travel stress-free and safely to their new environment. Backup systems ensure that their well-being is guaranteed at all times.
