BC, Riga, 21.09.2017.Print version
Latvia's largest poultry meat producer Putnu Fabrika Kekava (Kekava) will spend EUR 430,000 on the modernization of its chicken farm and raising its biosafety and animal welfare standards, the company's spokeswoman Maija Avota told LETA.

She said that the investment plan provides for placing disinfection barriers at the driveways leading to the farm to ensure compliance with high biosafety and animal welfare standards. Investments will also be made in the modernization of 21 poultry houses, equipping them with external barriers to enable more effective cleaning and prevent rodents from getting into the coops.

 

The works are scheduled for completion by July 2018.

 

Kekava reported a loss of EUR 314,181 on a turnover of EUR 57.219 million for the previous financial year which lasted from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016.

 

Kekava was founded in 1991. In October 2013, Kekava became a subsidiary of Lithuania-based enterprise Linas Agro Group. In February 2014, Linas Agro Group acquired 100 percent of shares in Latvian poultry companies Lielzeltini, Cerova and Broileks.
