BREEDER FARM

Irvines Botswana’s Breeder Farm is situated near Francistown where our Cobb breeders are reared under strict environmental and bio-security controls. The birds are then moved to production houses which are fully environmentally controlled. At 27 weeks the birds begin to produce hatching eggs which are graded and sent to the hatchery for setting and production of broiler day-old chicks. Access to the farm is strictly controlled to essential personnel only, with Cobb-Vantress and Cobb Africa providing valuable technical support to ensure excellent production results of the highest quality eggs.
