Sweden's Lantmannen opts for Petersime incubators
Lantmännen Swehatch has recently replaced six incubators in its hatchery at Väderstad,Sweden, with Petersime BioStreamer incubators Twelve other Petersime incubators have been upgraded.
In January 2013, six Petersime BioStreamer 12S setters, completely equipped with Embryo-Response Incubation technology, were installed in the Väderstad hatchery. Moreover, 12 AirStreamer incubators have been upgraded with Petersime's Eco-Drive technology - a system that reduces the incubator's energy consumption by up to 50% by reducing pulsator speed at less critical times during the incubation process.
To get the upgraded hatchery running at its full potential in the shortest possible period of time, Lantmännen Swehatch signed up for Petersime's Hatchery Guidance Programme PLUS, a service pack that includes training sessions, remote supervision, an incubation guide, and several hatchery visits by Petersime incubation specialists.
Hatchery Manager Christoffer Anderson comments, "We have been working with Petersime equipment since the very beginning, and the company has shown itself to be a trustworthy partner in terms of equipment quality and customer service all along. The new BioStreamerâ„¢ incubators are already producing top quality and uniform chicks which we aim for."
Lantmännen is Sweden's largest farmer cooperation and consists of four divisions: machinery, farming, energy and food. The company's chicken production is part of the food division and is managed by Lantmännen Kronfågel, of which Lantmännen Swehatch is a part. Its two hatcheries, produce 46 million day-old broilers yearly, at a total of 26 million in Väderstad and 18 million in Flyinge.
