Azerbaijan Republic’s largest producer of poultry meat and eggs, Siyazan Broyler OJSC, has appointed Royal Pas Reform to build a large, new integrated hatchery facility which will allow the company to meet its target of boosting production of high-quality chicken from 30,000 tons in 2018 to 60,000 tons of per year.

Siyazan Broyler, founded in 1984 by then national leader Heydar Aliyev, is based in north-eastern Azerbaijan. Today, and as a public company since 2000, it provides the cities of Baku and Sumgait, as well as more than 10 regions of the republic, with high-quality poultry products, including fresh chicken, minnow, ham, fillet, liver and maw. It is the largest meat-oriented poultry company in the entire Caucasus region of Asia Minor.

At the new hatchery Royal Pas Reform will install 18 SmartSetPro™ 4 setters, including Energy Saving Module™ (ESM™) and Adaptive Metabolic Feedback™ (AMF™), and 15 SmartHatchPro™ hatchers, including SmartWatch™. Hatchery automation will include candling & transfer, chick take-off, sexing and vaccinating carousels, chick counting and dosing, a spray vaccinator, pre-washing and washing.

The project also includes hatchery climate control, including air handling units, air distribution system, process water chiller, buffer tank and pump set, exhaust fan, chick room cooler and heater, and heat exchanger – and the integrated facility will be monitored and controlled by SmartCenterPro™ hatchery management software. Pas Reform Academy will provide staff training.

Siyazan Broyler places food hygiene and safety at the heart of its operations. Its entire production chain is adapted to international food safety management systems and has received HACCP, ISO 22000-2005 and MS 1500-2009 certificates. Halal principles are another priority: the company is certified in accordance with Malaysian MS 1500:2009 Halal standard and has halal-certification from the Caucasian Muslims Office.
