The new hatchery has been equipped with Petersime single-stage BioStreamer™ incubators as well as a complete hatchery climate control system, including heat recovery, for an efficient and biosecure production of day-old broiler chicks.

Pollos San Mateo s.a. is a family business which has already been dedicated to poultry for more than 40 years. The head office is located in Rio Ceballos, 30km from the city of Córdoba.
