The new hatchery expands on 30,000 square feet and has a capacity of 6.6 million eggs. Furthermore, it will create 25 new jobs.

The eggs, which come from salmonella negative flocks only, will be provided by the farms in Nebraska, Kansas, and Canada. The hatchery is strict bio-secure and respects the high-health requirements of the entire Hendrix Genetics Turkeys operations.

The company also said that the hatchery has had equipment overviews, including innovative Petersime incubation, restore and hatching pieces.

The new delivery fleet that will transport poults across the USA has 14 vehicles which feature advanced technology to simulate a hatchery environment during transport.

With this hatchery completion, as well as in-progress construction on a commercial hatchery in South Dakota and new farms in multiple states, Hendrix Genetics aims to strengthen their global supply chain. The Beatrice hatchery will join their network of owned, aligned, and contracted hatchery capacity set up to supply the strong demand for Hybrid genetics in the USA.
