CHICK MASTER PARTICIPATES IN THE LA CONGRESS The XXII Latin American Congress returned to Buenos Aires, Argentina in early September. The last LA Congress in Buenos Aires was 25 years ago. Over that period, Argentina has grown its poultry production several times over as the economy has grown and chicken has become a common sight at many meals. Argentina is also exporting chicken all over the world. As a result, our business in Argentina includes many expansions and new plants that are using our Avida and Avida S single stage setters with Zephyr hatchers. Many of the facilities have ventilation systems provided by our Energy Management group with one new facility in Entrerios installing our unique heat recovery technology to reduce energy consumption during the cooler days and evenings. Prior to the exhibition, Chick Master held a one day technical incubation seminar that was attended by over 200 people from around Latin America. The event included technical presentations by Chick Master experts and several invited guests. From our different meetings with customers both at the Chick Master seminar and at the LA Congress, we heard consistent interest to growth and to seeking greater efficiency at all levels of hatchery operations. Chick Master was proud to participate in the Congress together with our well-established group of sales representatives including Aldo Colman of EXIM International, Argentina; Georg V. von Arnim of Representaciones Guma, Colombia; Gonzalo Li of Guillermo Li SAC, Peru, and Euclides Fernandez of Inversiones Femur, Venezuela.

Cobb-Vantress Upgrades with Chick Master Recently Cobb-Vantress decided it was time to invest in upgrading its Wadesboro, North Carolina hatchery. This facility has Jamesway Big J setters and hatchers with Sentry controls, but they felt that Chick Master hatchers could offer better performance because of the unique design of the C192 hatcher. So they contacted our sales team to see what solutions we could offer. Working closely with our engineers, Chick Master designed a control upgrade to utilize the Genesis IV controls on the hatchers. They also like the Chick Master hatcher design and the efficiency of the fan system in the C192 model hatchers. Our design team went to work and built an upgrade utilizing the C192 fan assembly that replaced the original Jamesway fan assembly.

After several months of operation, Cobb has seen the return they expected. In comparison to the original Jamesway hatchers, both chick quality and the number of sellable breeder chicks have increased. An improved airflow and better control gave them the benefits they expected. Congratulations to Cobb and the Chick Master engineering team! To gain even further improvements, Cobb-Vantress has already committed to further control upgrades for the setters. Their Jamesway setters will soon utilize the Genesis IV controls connected to the Chick Master Galaxy software system. With better and more accurate control, Cobb will see even great benefits. If you have Jamesway setters and hatchers of any model, you could benefit from these same upgrades. Contact your Chick Master sales representative to see how you can improve your hatch and chick quality.
