Located in the south central region of Brazil, in Guapiacu, Sao Paulo, Cobb-Vantress Brasil – a wholly owned subsidiary of Cobb-Vantress Inc. - is well positioned to supply breeding stock for this, the largest market outside of the United States, with the production of more than 20 million parents a year.
The breeding company’s new installation will include 15 SmartSet™ setters and six SmartHatch™ hatchers, with the complete retrofit of pressure and humidity control systems in the hatcher rooms.
The new, state-of the art Smart hatchery will deliver tight controls through every aspect of great grandparent, grandparent and parent stock production.
“Pas Reform’s Smart was selected from a number of systems currently available from Brazilian and overseas suppliers, after rigorous evaluation by a select team of technicians from Cobb Vantress Brasil and Cobb Vantress Inc.’s global technical service team”, says
Thomas Calil, managing director of Pas Reform do Brasil. “This adoption of Pas Reform modular single stagetechnologies is an important, evolutionary step in Brazil, particularly when there is already a strong move from multi-stage to single-stage incubation in other countries in Latin America.”
Cobb Vantress Brazil’s equipment will be manufactured, supplied, installed and serviced by Pas Reform do Brasil, to be operational by July 2009.
