Kekava poultry farm to improve biosafety standards and modernize chicken houses
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.
