Aviagen announced an investment of R$ 190 million to expand its grandparent and parent stock production capacity in Brazil, according to a statement released this Wednesday (13). According to the company, the expansion includes new facilities and advanced logistics management systems, with the aim of strengthening the supply of grandparent and parent stock to the national poultry chain. Of the total planned, R$ 70 million will be allocated to the expansion of the great-grandparent farm located in Sarutaiá and the grandparent hatchery in Santa Cruz das Palmeiras. The modernization of these units should add approximately 250,000 grandparent stock per year to the company's Brazilian operation. The plan also includes the acquisition and adaptation of the Baú grandparent farm, located in Itirapina, a project that will receive R$ 120 million in investments. According to the company, the new structure will allow for an increase of 1.3 million parent stock produced by the Brazilian operation by 2027. At its maximum capacity, the unit could reach the mark of 2 million parent stock produced.
