First of all, the location, centrally located in a poultry arm part of the Netherlands. In the event of disease outbreaks, Verbeek thus increases the delivery reliability compared to the old production location in Lunteren. Then the capacity and facilities: flocks of up to 200,000 chicks can be prepared per day for transport and rearing according to all customer wishes (beaks and grafts). And last but not least : the climatological and hatching technical management is set up in such a way that optimal chick quality can be guaranteed. Two egg stores . Possibility to optimize storage temperature according to breed, parent age and expected storage time. Increases the vitality of the embryos and thus improves the chick quality. Preheating room for eggs . The eggs are brought to the same temperature here before they enter the incubators. This warming results in a short, rapid hatching with uniform chicks 21 days later. The climate and breeding process completely digitized . Track & tracing of all chick results is possible and offers the possibility to quickly optimize the space and breeding conditions according to breed, parent age and storage time of the eggs. The incubators are equipped with EMKA Teggnologic 27 . This makes it possible to control the egg shell and chick temperature with a higher cooling water temperature of 27 ° C. Advantages: (I) higher cooling water temperature ensures less condensation in the hatching machines, so drier chicks and less chance of bacterial growth. (II) After the cooling water has returned from the incubators, the water only needs to be cooled a few degrees before it re-enters the cooling circuit. This saves energy costs. Reuse embroyal heat. The embryonic heat (metabolism) that is absorbed by the cooling water is used by means of a heat exchanger and underfloor heating to heat the entire hatchery. A sustainable innovation. NEN ISO 22000 HACCP certification. The hatchery works with strict hygiene rules. The process design thus meets the highest food safety requirements. This strict hygienic approach is also reflected in the climatological design of the hatchery. Each room has its own air treatment machine, so that individual rooms can be controlled by temperature, humidity and air pressure.
