Aviagen signs agreement with Polish poultry company

Aviagen EPI has announced the signing of an agreement of cooperation with BroMargo, a leading Polish private poultry integration, on a Grandparent (GP) project in Poland.

The agreement will see the construction of state-of-the-art GP facilities, including rearing and laying farms, located near Poznan, Western Poland. Construction has already begun and the first placement of Ross chicks is scheduled for the beginning of 2011.

Aviagen EPI general manager Patrick Claeys said, "After a difficult period, the industry here in Poland is really expanding and this new farm will help us provide our customers with first class products and provide real security of supply to the market."

Aviagen EPI general sales manager in Poland Dariusz Kulik said, "The location of the GP project is perfect and meets our stringent biosecurity standards. Another vital factor is its proximity to our Hilbersdorf hatchery in Eastern Germany. Secure supply, chick quality and being close to our customers is the number one priority for Aviagen."
