Rearing

From the hatchery, the chicks move to the rearing company for the main rearing period. The aim of Verbeek's rearing concept is to deliver a vital hen ready to lay, adapted to your specific housing system and which will move quickly through your system. Only then can a quality hen perform what is genetically possible.

Specification of Verbeek raising concept:

  • Clear classification of rearing systems.
  • Uniform and clear training programme for your hen.
  • Dedicated rearing companies.
  • Uniform rearing concept.
  • Clear training target for the hen, in keeping with the conditions of the laying barn.
  • No compromises on health aspects.

The performance of your flock in the rearing barn is registered in the hen's passport.

Transparency and traceability...These too are aspects included in the Verbeek approach!
