The starting point for Avipro’s poultry farming process is the Grandparent (GP) unit, which is the foundation of all the farming operations. The GP chicks (day-old chicks) are imported from France and immediately placed in quarantine.

The Grandparent breeders produce fertilized eggs that hatch in a "small hatchery" (GP HAT) and give rise to the Parent breeders.

Having the GP stage ensures self-sufficiency and ensures a stable supply in quantity, reducing our dependence on imports.

From the small hatchery, the parental breeding chicks are sent to 4 rearing farms for approximately 20 weeks, where they grow in an environment tailored to their age until they reach the breeding stage. Male and female chicks are raised separately during this period.

These birds are then transferred to the breeding farms, where the reproductive phase takes place. Fertile hatching eggs result from the fertilization of hens by roosters. Avipro has a total of 8 breeding farms.

The fertilized eggs are collected from the breeding farms and delivered to the hatchery at Providence. After a storage phase, they are incubated at the optimal temperature for 21 days, giving birth to broiler chicks.

These chicks are distributed both to the broiler farms and to local breeders through our retail outlet, "Avishop."

The broiler chicks are transported to Avipro's farms as well as contract growers' farms. The day-old chicks will grow in buildings equipped with specialized ventilation and heating systems for approximately 40 days. They have the freedom to move around, eat, and drink comfortably while being monitored by a technical team and a veterinarian.

When the chickens reach the desired weight, they are transferred to our Phoenix factory where they are slaughtered and processed into finished products. The operations of transportation, storage, and slaughtering are carried out with the utmost respect for the welfare of the animals. The chicken is then packaged either as a whole or in portions, based on our customers' demands, in accordance with HACCP parameters to ensure a high-quality product for consumers.

Our distribution partners maintain the chicken at the right temperature throughout the entire transportation process, from the factory to the customers, including butchers, supermarkets, grocery stores, and local restaurants across the country. This is done to preserve the cold chain and ensure that consumers can purchase a high-quality product with confidence in its safety.
