Chi Farms Limited, a member of the TGI Group, has expanded its hatchery production capacity at its Ajanla Farms, Ibadan.
The hatchery capacity has been increased from 44 million to 52 million day-old chicks per annum to meet the increasing demand for their products across Nigeria.
Chief Operating Officer of Chi Farms, Dr. Ananda Raj, highlights the critical nature of the expansion at Ajanla Farms, Ibadan, stating that; “Our decision to expand our hatchery production capacity was driven by the high demand for our day-old chicks across Nigeria. The strategic location of Ajanla Farms, Ibadan, away from bird-prone diseases and proximity to our hatchery fleets, makes it an ideal location to increase our breeding success and meet the ever-increasing demands from the poultry industry in Nigeria.”
The new hatchery ensures optimum biosecurity measures and standard operating procedures for optimal hatchery performance. These infrastructural investments position Chi Farms as a leading agribusiness and broiler breeding company in Nigeria and beyond as they continue to grow their national footprint.
Executive Director of Chi Farms, Dr. Tunji Olaitan, said;
“We are committed to excellent breeding and sustainability because every chick’s health, well-being and performance begin in the hatchery. This expansion is a testament to our forecasted growth in the future. We not only expanded our operational capacity and excellence but have also greatly improved in sustainability, SOPs and quality standards. We have highly qualified, experienced and competent personnel to manage the facilities and equipment.”
