Hukuru selects SmartPro for Zimbabwe expansion

Hukuru has selected SmartPro setters and hatchers to help increase production, which is currently 300,000 day old chicks per week

Hukuru and its sister company Charles Stewart Day Old Chicks produce Ross genetics for the broiler market in Zimbabwe, and has a current capacity of 300,000 day old chicks per week.

With plans to increase production, the company is embarking on a three-phase expansion program that will enable the production of 450,000 day old chicks in its final phase.

Hukuru selected SmartPro™ setters and hatchers, says Gordon Brown, co-owner and CEO, not only for their excellent quality, but also for their flexibility in expansion. “We are very impressed with the ability to convert the SmartSetPro 4™ setters into SmartSetPro 6™ setters. This degree of flexibility fell very much in line with Hukuru’s expansion plans and was a lynchpin in the finalization of the contract.”

Hukuru has also been impressed by Pas Reform’s hatchery consultants, says David Bookless, shareholder and production manager of the company. “In 20 years of working with other incubation companies, none has ever sent out an expert of the quality of Martin Barten to audit my hatchery.”
