They produce a total of 400,000 broilers in eight houses, receive day-old chicks from Wimex, use feed from ForFarmers and supply the processing plant at Plukon.
Close collaboration between all the suppliers is credited with helping towards the award-winning performance — average daily gain above 66.2 grams, feed conversion at 1.56 at 37 days.
The Stenmans said their aim is to produce high quality broilers: "We have the Cobb breed for its very excellent uniformity, high profitability and good technical performance. The uniformity is, I think, very strongly determined by the genetics".
