Promoting high-tech chicken farming

The largest chicken processing complex in Southeast Asia, recently inaugurated in Binh Phuoc, is a remarkable highlight of the livestock industry in the last days of this year.

With an investment of 250 million USD in the first phase, this is the first closed chain of chicken industry in Vietnam with the ability to raise, slaughter and process 100 million chickens per year. This complex includes feed factories, hatcheries, broiler farms, hatcheries and slaughterhouses and chicken processing plants.

With this model, the whole chicken is traceable along the chain, from the source of raw materials to the processed product. The chicken farming here meets all the strictest criteria. Including the animal welfare standards of the World Organization for Animal Health.

Especially, at present, Binh Phuoc is building a disease-free breeding area for poultry according to the standards of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and will soon be recognized as the first "epidemic-free zone" in Vietnam. Vietnam. Therefore, setting up a factory in this area is an important premise to promote chicken exports in the coming time, even to markets with the most stringent standards such as Europe and Japan.

If this complex runs at full capacity, it is expected that within the next 3 years, this complex alone will be equal to nearly 1/5 of the total poultry flock in the country. And more importantly, with the appearance of a series of processing factories and large livestock farms, the Ministry of Agriculture estimates that this will be the basis to bring the export turnover of livestock products to 1 billion USD in the coming year. next time.

Vietnam's livestock strategy sets a target that in the next 10 years, the total number of chickens will be around 400-450 million, of which at least 60% are raised by industrial methods.

Poultry meat accounts for about 1/3 of the total meat production of all kinds. Poultry eggs reached about 23 billion eggs, nearly 10 billion higher than today.
