Russian poultry firm Cherkizovo Group has opened two breeding facilities at its Vasilievskaya poultry factory in the Penza region and marking the completion of a large-scale construction project.
The Vertunovka site within the Vasilievskaya plant consists of 44 bird houses separated into four zones, each of which has been adapted in-line with the “highest Western standards of poultry production”, Cherkizovo said.
Production capacity now totals approximately 60m incubatory eggs per year.
CEO Sergey Mikhailov said: “With the completion of the Vertunovka site, we have achieved the most time and cost-intensive element of the poultry industry’s investment cycle. The construction of the facility is highly important for the group, since its operational capacity is almost unrivalled, not only in Russia, but also in Europe.”
