Jamesway supports opening of world's biggest turkey hatchery

Local officials and turkey farmers gathered in Terra Haute, Indiana, US for the opening of the world's largest turkey hatchery on August 15.

Select Genetics, a branch of Aviagen, pronounced the new establishment 'ready for business' with a ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches by project leaders and local government. The hatchery which will ultimately hatch 1.2 million poults a week will feature 192 Platinum 40 Incubators and 48 hatchers. Phase one, just launched, will feature 128 incubators and produce 800,000 poults a week. Jamesway is understandably proud of the involvement and appreciates their long history with Aviagen who selected the Jamesway machines based on the dependability of their machines.
