Pas Reform Academy will provide a full onsite training programme, as well as ongoing monitoring and advice to tailor Provita's incubation programmes for peak performance.

Provita Group is involved with trading, garments and shipping businesses, and entered the poultry market six years old.

Meanwhile, Russian broiler hatchery OAO Pavlovskaya has reported increased hatchability since installing modular, Smart single-stage incubation at its new hatchery in Nizhegorodskaya.

Pas Reform was also commissioned to produce engineering plans for the new site, planned in two phases to bring Pavlovskaya hatchery's annual capacity up to 16 million hatching eggs per annum.

With its core business in broiler meat production, Pavlovskaya Hatchery complements sister operations OOO Poultry Plant Diveevskoe and Feedmill Pavlovskaya. Together, the companies produce a range of more than 80 different poultry products, under the management of Russkoe Pole, one of the most progressive companies in the Russian poultry sector.
