Hatcheries

Al Tahooneh owns the largest and most advanced chicken hatcheries in the Middle East. Their production capacity is estimated at 95 million eggs.

Egg is classified by type, age and fitness for hatching using state of the art machinery after having the egg rest for 48 hours, then sterilized, after which it is brought in incubators under suitable temperature and humidity for 18 and a half days. Temperature and humidity are controlled in the incubators through modern machinery as per the fetus requirements, and are changed during this period. Egg temperature is measured using “upper survey”. After incubation period, the egg is vaccinated against diseases using special international machines, then brought to the egg hatcheries for 3 days, where hatching is made using specialized technology.

Finally, healthy chicks are carefully selected and sent to our farms, where they are nurtured and cared for before being transferred to broiler farms. A portion of the chicks is sold to farmers across various regions of the country as a priority, while the surplus is exported.
