K&N’s operates several
strategically located hatcheries covering all
day-old chick markets to ensure delivery of high
quality layer and broiler day-old chicks to
commercial farmers throughout Pakistan.
All
hatcheries are equipped with most modern
cooling, heating and humidification systems
to provide a uniform and consistent
hatchery environment independent of varying
outdoor weather conditions.
Incubators from
world-renowned manufacturers are installed at all
hatcheries and their performance data is recorded
and monitored by a computerized incubation
monitoring system.
Upon arrival from breeder
farms, hatching-eggs are candled at all
hatcheries to remove eggs, which may have cracked
during transit. Sanitation and hygiene is
enhanced by mechanically transferring
eggs from one type of tray onto another until
chicks are harvested from hatchers.
Maximum care is exercised
while handling, reconstituting and
administering vaccines using proper techniques and
modern equipment. To ensure chicks get off to
the healthiest start and stay protected from
viral diseases, they receive injectable and spray vaccinations at the hatchery.
Day-old chicks are delivered
to farmers in environment-controlled chick
delivery vehicles to maintain quality during
transit. After making deliveries, vehicles are
washed and disinfected before entering the hatchery
premises to avoid any risk of carrying disease
causative agents back to the hatchery from
the field. |
