Romania - In 2019, Nutrientul Grup in Romania made the decision to venture into breeder farming by constructing six houses. This Greenfield Farms project was carried out in partnership with Pterotec. By 2024, the farm was expanded to include an additional six houses for another 60,000 breeders. The project was developed in multiple phases. The initial phase took place in 2021, while the subsequent phase was completed in June 2024. It is recognized as one of Romania's most advanced breeder farms, featuring the Vencomatic Nest, Vencobelts, and the Ovoset Pro.
A separate section in the barn has been set up for rearing. Next to the rearing part you find the Vencomatic Nest. The nest design gives a high nest acceptation and low number of floor eggs. It includes the Vencomat for a comfortable and safe nest place. The roll away nest, in combination with the nest floor, gently transfers the eggs to the perforated egg belt. From there, the eggs are automatically conveyed to the egg room using the Vencobelt, which ensures careful handling and high transport capacity. The unique plastic carriers provide a careful egg handling and the open structure is easy to clean and less contamination.
Eggs are collected with the Ovoset Pro. The Ovoset Pro offers the unique point down correction for optimal efficiency and high hatchability rates and also ensure gentle egg handling to prevent cracks.
The Golden Egg Award is an integral part of Vencomatics Global dealer event, allowing each partner to submit a project they believe deserves the title of Project of the Year. The competition features three categories: layers, breeders, and broilers. A winner will be determined in each category, and from these three winners, an overall champion will be selected.
