AUSTRALIA

Hazeldene’s Chicken Farms Pty of Australia, one of Australia’s leading poultry producers, is soon to complete the 1^st stage of its state of the art new broiler hatchery in Kangaroo Flat, Victoria.  

The search for a supplier who could meet their stringent requirements on bio-security, hatchability and chick quality started over 2 years ago and, after careful evaluation, travelling to see each referenced manufacturer twice, Hazeldene’s made their choice in favour of LINCO Set & Hatch.

John Hazeldene said “We made our choice based on our conviction that only LINCO Set & Hatch could supply the benchmark single stage technology that we demanded. LINCO has been the pioneer of this technology and together with their unique forced air flow system, dedicated heating & cooling on each trolley and hatcher in-wall cooling system, LINCO were the only company to match all our specifications.

Our target is to build the most advanced broiler hatchery in Australia utilising the most modern hatchery methods, best practices and technology to achieve the most efficient and highest levels of production, quality and bio-security”.

LINCO Set & Hatch will supply 64 LINCO setters type 600-4S MK2 (capacity each 60.480 eggs) with 16 LINCO hatchers type 400H (capacity each 40.320 eggs). Another part of the Hazeldene brief was for LINCO Set & Hatch to design and supply a bespoke, fully automatic, integrated, automation system for on-farm traying, tray transfer, egg candling, removal of clears, hatcher tray transfer, hatcher tray stacking and a tray washing system.

The Hazeldene/LINCO Set & Hatch partnership will set the standard for future operations, not only in Australia, but the whole of S.E. Asia.
