Current daily practice

The chick’s development from embryo to processing is constantly disrupted.

HatchCare

With HatchCare, there are no disruptions during the chick’s development, all the way from embryo to processing.

Current daily practice

No light, feed or water is available to chicks during or after hatching.

HatchCare

In HatchCare’s illuminated hatcher, chicks are able to access feed and water as soon as they hatch. This reduces the risk of dehydration and stimulates both the development of important organs and the immune system.

Current daily practice

Chicks hatch among eggshell debris.

HatchCare

With HatchCare, newly hatched chicks pass automatically into a separate, clean hatching crate. This means the eggshells do not impede the air flow, which can pass around the chicks more easily.

Current daily practice

To calculate the total number of hatched birds, chicks have to be put through a counter. Chicks are processed through one central point, which increases the risk of cross-contamination.

HatchCare

With HatchCare, the number of hatched chicks is always known. This means that they can stay in their crate and go directly to the farm, minimising the risk of cross-contamination.
