Hy-Line International is undertaking a 4-year expansion project comprising research farms and a new hatchery. The initial phases that were completed within the past two years included a complete remodel and upgrade of the Dr. James Arthur Research and Development Farm and construction of a hatchery dedicated exclusively to pedigree and grandparent stock. A new research layer farm, currently under construction, will use the latest environmental control technologies including full panel walls as well as superior ventilation and filtration systems that have proven very successful at the new pullet farm. The additional research farm will complement the Genomic Selection Program, improving the accuracy in the selection process. |
