Animal production
Rearing pullets
For our own needs, we rear pullets of the Lohmann Brown and ISA Brown laying hybrid breeds.
We purchase day-old chicks of laying hens from Liaharenský podnik a.s. Nitra and Integra a.s. Žabčice. The rearing process lasts until the age of 120 days, with the first eggs appearing around the 110th day. Once reared, these pullets are transferred to farms in Horná Štubňa and Horné Pršany.
Fattening of broiler chickens
We specialize in raising broiler chickens, ensuring optimal conditions for their growth and development. Our facilities are equipped to provide the necessary environment for broiler chickens to thrive. We carefully manage their nutrition, housing, and health to ensure the production of high-quality poultry meat.
Every second chicken on the Slovak market is imported, putting domestic producers in a deep slump. In 2020, imports accounted for nearly 47,000 tons of meat, primarily from Brazil and also from Poland. And what about quality? Slovak consumers clearly prioritize price, with little interest in origin and product contents.
We demand that the State Veterinary and Food Administration conduct more thorough inspections of the poultry meat being imported and sold. Doing business in this sector is challenging, and slowly, even without state support and protection for domestic producers, it’s becoming uneconomical. However, the dire conditions do not affect the quality of our poultry; adhering to proper production practices and HACCP principles has long been a norm in our operations.
We adhere to welfare principles. Welfare focuses on ensuring the health and well-being of animals, which directly impacts the quality of the resulting food and the overall sustainability of agricultural enterprises. It encompasses aspects such as access to adequate feed, drinking water, space for movement, proper lighting, and ventilation in outdoor runs or housing, as well as adequate animal health care.
We purchase day-old broiler chicks from MACH DRŮBEŽ a.s. Litomyšl, XAVEROV a.s. hatchery Habry / Uherský Ostroh, and Best spol. s r.o. Opava. We rear ROSS 308 and COBB 500 hybrids in six cycles throughout the year.
