Category Criteria
This category is for both broiler and layer hatcheries. The judges will be looking for strong performance against KPIs, including number of viable chicks per egg and egg utilisation. Hatcheries have an increased responsibility when it comes to biosecurity, which will be reflected in the judge’s thoughts, as will the units’ commitment to staff training.
