Providing a space-efficient storage room for chicks can be challenging when the entire hatchery facility is already operating at full capacity. Constructing a new storage room causes a lasting interference with daily operations and requires time most hatcheries don’t have. The Chick Holding Unit is a non-permanent solution for hatcheries requiring a climatized storage room, added to the existing hatchery facility.
The Mobile Chick Storage Unit preserves the quality of poultry during pre-transport storage time. It can often be added on to the existing hatchery building without building permit. The unit is pre-build when it arrives at the premises and can be placed at any desired location. If necessary, the unit can be relocated. The distribution of crates inside the unit is highly space-efficient, since it features a precise coordination of temperature, optimal air flow and an equal distribution of air throughout the transport boxes.
”We utilize the Heering Chick Storage Room for incoming shipments of poultry. Customs procedures and veterinary control at the border can take some time, and we want to be sure that the live animals are temporarily stored in optimum conditions. We pay a lot of attention to animal welfare so the addition of a Heering storage unit to our facilities was a logical next step.”
