These hens and roosters mate to produce fertilized eggs (not the same as the table eggs we eat), which are sold to broiler hatcheries for incubation.

In new hatcheries, the exhaust air from the setters is not reused anymore , and most often, all air is used only once before being exhausted to the outside.

Hendrix Genetics initiated this hatchery project in 2017 in the context of a big investment in new and updated breeding farms, two new hatcheries and a new transportation fleet.

When building new hatcheries and remodeling existing facilities, the most important factor to create a modern, efficient hatchery is to create optimal product flow inside the facility.
