The new houses were officially presented during an Open Day organised by the company in cooperation with Afeed, a.s. and Farmtec, a.s. The event attracted nearly one hundred visitors from the professional and farming communities, who were able to see modern technologies and housing systems that meet current poultry production standards.
At the opening of the new investment, Ing. Michal Hájek, Managing Director and CEO of Vodňanské kuře, presented the company’s long-term strategy focused on developing its own integrated production chain. “We are modernising our farms and building new houses in order to fully close the production loop. On our parent-stock farms, we produce hatching eggs, which are incubated in our own hatcheries. The chicks are then reared in houses identical to those you can see here in Mikulovice. Finally, the fully grown chickens are processed in our own slaughterhouses. So whenever you buy a Vodňanské kuře chicken, you can be sure that it comes from Czech production and meets the highest possible quality standards.”
The new investment represents another step in the modernisation of Vodňanské kuře’s production capacity. It strengthens domestic poultry meat production and contributes to greater self-sufficiency of the Czech market.
