Poultry proves profitable expansion option for German pig, calf farmer

摘要

Broiler production is the best option for a German farmer faced with development restrictions. Mr. and Mrs. Clemens Pohlkemper produce some 900,000 broilers per annum, but poultry is a relatively new venture for the couple. The Pohlkemper family onlystarted broiler farming in 2002, having previously concentrated on pig and calf production. The location of their farm, however, meant that any expansion of their traditional activities was not possible, and to grow their business they had to look for anew direction.
