Specifically designed for Hy-Line’s Research and Development Pedigree Program, the hatchery represents a significant investment to continue the high quality standards set by the company. With industry-leading incubators and equipment coupled with stringent biosecurity measures, the hatchery is the most up-to-date facility in the industry. The Hy-Line International Pedigree Hatchery will be under the direction of Production Director Dr Antonio Paraguassu.

The two-day celebration allowed employees and local development officials to tour the new facility before operations began and biosecurity measures were activated. Among those attending were members of the Perry city government, Perry Chamber of Commerce, city, county and regional development officials and other invited guests.
