Latest technology aids new US hatchery

摘要

Back in 2006, the managers at Hy-Line North America (HLNA) started planning a new hatchery to primarily focus on thtM/est Coast, .-but one that would also be within, ifach of the Midwestern -markets. The decision was made to build in. Buriey, Idaho, located near interstate highways. The selection of Buriey was all about the location: to reach the West Coast However, Buriey also has an agriculture-Ifiendly environment a strong employee base, and good geography. The new hatchery would cover two other hatcheries: one in Lakeview, California that hatched 11.5 million chicks a year, and had been part of HLNA for 40 years; the other in Graham, Washington, originally built in 1984, and which HLNA has used for seven years, producing five million chicks a year.
