Russian based “European Biological Technologies LLC” has placed
a multi-million Euro order for constructing HatchTech, HatchBrood
and HatchTraveller at their brand-new poultry integration, which
will be realized in the Samara Province. At the Corporate Head
Offices of HatchTech in the Netherlands, representatives of both
companies signed a contract for the delivery of a brand new
hatchery, including brooding facility and chick transport vehicles.
Russian market applies “One Concept for All Stages”
HatchTech will supply HatchTech MicroClimer Setters and Hatchers, all
amenities such as a HatchTech Ventilation System, a HatchTech Water
Management System incl. Heat Recovery System, and the Hatchery
Management System. The hatchery has a capacity to produce 840.000
day old chicks per week. After hatch, all chicks are transferred to
the brooding facility, equipped with 16 HatchBrood units, in which
the young chicks will stay for 3 to 4 days period. Subsequently, the
birds will be transported to the broiler farms, by making use of two
HatchTraveller’s, holding 86.400 d.o.c. each. By incorporating the
HatchTech-HatchBrood-HatchTraveller into the new integration, the
“one concept for all stages” philosophy has been fully applied.

HatchTech – HatchBrood – HatchTraveller atthe heart of new Russian Poultry Integration
Mr. Pozmogov, Director: “For this project, we compiled a team of
poultry experts, which evaluated the equipment market to find
innovative products that place the chickens’ well-being, health and
field performance at the center of attention. We strongly believe
that ideal environmental conditions during incubation produce high-
quality day old chicks. In addition to that, the team is convinced that
the period after hatching, is extremely crucial for optimal growth
and development. A chick’s immune, digestive and thermoregulatory
systems can only finish developing correctly if its body is kept at an
optimal temperature during brooding. HatchBrood technology does
this and more. It provides a healthy supply of fresh water, air, feed
and light. This way, the chicks have an optimal start.”
Excellent Solution for Russian Poultry Farming
During the first four days of their lives chicks are unable to
regulate their own body temperature. Their proper growth and
development therefore depends on the climate that poultry farmers
create for them. Achieving the perfect combination of air and floor
temperatures, air velocity and humidity levels that lead to superior
chick quality can be quite difficult; especially in the extreme
Russian climate.
Mr. Joost ter Heerdt, Commercial Director, HatchTech: “Realizing
this excellent project in Samara fulfills us with proud and happiness.
HatchTech has been active in the Russian industry for many years.
It is very rewarding to see that today our complete product portfolio
is being accepted by respected companies such as European Biological
Technologies LLC. Together with our team of HatchTech Russ LLC,
we are looking forward to a successful project realization. “

Festive Opening of HatchTech Experience CentreIn December 2013, HatchTech has opened its brand new HatchTech
Experience Center (HEC), located right on the A12 motorway in the
Netherlands. The opening of the new showroom facility is a directly
result of the companies growth, both in terms of sales as well as
in terms of its innovative product portfolio. The HEC will enable
poultry company’s world wide to determine, which equipment is
most appropriate for their specific needs, as they can see the products
functioning in a real-world environment.
Commercial Director, Joost ter Heerdt, comments: “Although we
have excellent possibilities for on-farm visits in the Netherlands and
Germany, where we hold market leading positions, we still believe
it is important to let our customers become acquainted with our
developments in a clean setting. Our new, 850 m², state-of-the-art
HatchTech Experience Center offers guests an up close and personal
look at the most innovative technology available in the world of
incubation, chick transport and brooding. At this beautiful location
we are able to demonstrate what is possible today, to see everything
working in real-world settings, and to speak with our experts who
can support their projects every step of the way.”
Over the last years, HatchTech has worked via the guiding principle
that its products should contribute to provide increasingly superior
chick quality. It is the foundation of the business culture and practices
from research and development, product and project engineering,
to customer service. HatchTech’s research-based knowledge of
incubation, chick transportation and brooding enables the company
to develop outstanding, yet user-friendly products for the global
poultry industry. HatchTech today works with more than 100
employees have sales-service offices in Brazil and Russia.
HatchTech works with an extensive distributor network in more
than 30 countries to service clients worldwide.

Cold Brooding Conditions Result inDecreased Development
HatchTech appoints new International Sales Managers and Hatchery Management Consultant
An important condition in early life that is known to influence later
performance is the environmental temperature. The optimal rectal
temperature of chickens is around 40.6ºC. Chickens show that they are
comfortable when they are quiet, not panting, and when they are
evenly spread in the broiler house or brooding unit.
HatchTech’s Research team conducted an experiment to study the effect
of a cold brooding temperature during 4 days post-hatch on development.
Chickens from a 47 week old parent stock were housed in a HatchBrood
unit that was either set to an optimal temperature profile, which leads to
rectal temperatures around 40.6ºC, or to a cold temperature profile that
was on average 5.5ºC colder than the optimal profile.
After 4 days, chickens brooded at a cold temperature weighed
5.5 grams less than chickens brooded at an optimal temperature.
Feed intake, too, was reduced: 12.8 grams/chicken per day versus
14.1 grams/chicken per day, respectively. However, feed conversion
(g feed/g growth) was the same between brooding temperatures.
This indicates that the reduction in body weight gain could be
attributed to the reduced feed intake.
Cold brooding temperature also affected chick length. Chickens
brooded at a cold temperature were 0.9 cm shorter at day 4 than
chickens brooded at the optimal temperature. Feed to length
conversion was 15.8 g/cm, versus 19.5 g/cm, respectively.
It can be concluded from this experiment that cold brooding
temperatures not only lead to reduced body weights as a result of
reduced feed intake, but also to reduced frame development and
efficiency to convert feed into frame.

Baromfi-Coop based in Hungary and HatchTech have agreed upon
the expansion of 900 square meter with 8 MicroClimer Setters
126.720, 6 MicroClimer Hatchers 42.240 including ventilation,
cooling and heating. Due to the great success of the first
HatchTraveller, Baromfi-Cooop ordered a second HatchTraveller
for transporting 105.600 day-old-chicks as well.
Tecnica Avicola, one of the leading poultry producers in the north
of Peru, has recently finished the installation of 3 additional
HatchTech MicroClimer Setters. The hatchery is now placing nearly
700.000 eggs weekly into HatchTech MicroClimers. Tecnica Avicola
installed their first HatchTech MicroClimers back in 2005. Over the
years they have invested in replacing traditional incubators into
HatchTech.
Russian based European Biological Technologies LLC has chosen
HatchTech to supply HatchTech MicroClimer Setters and Hatchers,
all amenities such as a HatchTech Ventilation System, a HatchTech
Water Management System incl. Heat Recovery System, and
the Hatchery Management System. The hatchery has a capacity
to produce 840.000 day old chicks per week. After hatch, all
chicks are transferred to the brooding facility, equipped with 16
HatchBrood units. Subsequently, the birds will be transported to

completion the team of HatchTech Supervisors started with
construction of the hatchery equipment.
The ability to control all the important factors in this hatchery
operation: such as, Setters and Hatchers, Ventilation, Heating &
Cooling equipment, provides predictable results and insight in
terms of running costs. The hatchery is planned to be opened in
May 2014.
Sunfood, the first HatchTech project in Thailand, has again chosen
HatchTech to supply the machines for the extension of their
current hatchery. Included in the extension of the hatchery, is the
upgrade of the current machines. All machines at the hatchery will
be upgraded to the latest standard.
