POULTRY FARMING

An experimental facility for poultry farming has been completed and commissioned, which meets the global standards in terms of technical and technological solutions, very strict welfare requirements, with computer-controlled ambient and feeding conditions with the highest level of biosafety. The facility is intended for testing of various food formulations and poultry feeding systems.
