Gorodok Poultry Farm plans to quadruple its quail farming

August 10, Vitebsk /Olga Bogacheva - BELTA/. Republican unitary agricultural enterprise "Gorodok Poultry Farm" plans to increase its quail farming by four times, Deputy Director of the enterprise Boris Chechko told a BELTA correspondent.

Currently, 8,000 quails are being raised in the poultry house located at the main site of the enterprise in the village of Suravni, Horadok District, with a daily egg collection of 6,000 pieces. "Given the increased demand for this product, the poultry farm plans to increase the number of birds by 24,000 and bring the production capacity of quail eggs to 20,000 pieces per day," said Boris Chechko.

A poultry house has already been prepared, and the issue of purchasing equipment worth Br200 million is being resolved. In addition, the enterprise is considering sources of financing for the implementation of a project to reconstruct two poultry houses to increase egg production and four poultry houses for raising broiler chickens. The implementation of the project will increase the annual egg production volume from one poultry house by 15%, or 1.5 million pieces, and poultry meat, respectively, by 25%, or 400 tons. 

      In January-July, the poultry farm produced products worth Br24 billion. Sales profitability is positive. 25.3 million chicken eggs worth Br4.5 billion were shipped for export to Russia. The share of exports in the total sales volume was 36.1%. The enterprise has 16 poultry houses for egg production and 8 for raising broiler chickens. The annual production volume is 140 million eggs and 3 thousand tons of meat.
