Bolidt & Optibrut

Optibrut produces high-quality and healthy day-old chicks for both German and Dutch broiler farmers. The company, located in Nordhorn, on the Dutch-German border, operates in a sustainable and animal-friendly way. This happens by using the concept of early feeding: the chicks are provided with water, feed and light as soon as they hatch, which immediately boosts their immune system. The result according to Optibrut: a stronger chick that performs better at the broiler farm.

An additional advantage is that the chicks hardly need any antibiotics. Hygiene is a prerequisite for animal welfare. Bacteria must be prevented from gaining a foothold at the hatchery. It was therefore a foregone conclusion to Optibrut, which flooring should be installed in the new hatchery building.
