The 2023 Avian Influenza outbreak severely affected the poultry industry, reduced national flock size, and threatened job security. Bergvlei Chicks was not exempted as it lost all its breeder and reared flocks during the same period. A recovery plan enabled breeder farms to be back in operation with newly hatched breeder flocks. Day old chick production and placements on rearing farms have commenced as a result point of lays will be available as from August 2024. To reduce possible future AI impact risk, breeder flocks are spread in different farms and provinces.
Bergvlei Chicks management would like to thank all customers for the unwavering support and understanding in difficult times. Looking forward to the year ahead and beyond.
Wishing you all that is well for the remainder of the year and the future.
Yours Sincerely
Amos Selaledi
Executive: Bergvlei Chicks
