Leading manufacturer celebrates completed VAL-CO tunnel ventilated broiler open house with Panama’s Bishop and the Mayor of Santiago.
On June 19th, 2017 the Agricultural Institute of Jesus the Nazarene held an open house celebrating the completion of their first fully VAL-CO equipped tunnel ventilated broiler house. The Agricultural Institute is a technical school sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Santiago tasked with providing education to low income students in the management of poultry farms.
Many large Panamanian producers attended the opening including Grupo Melo, Empresas Toledano, Agro-Pecuaria Buen Pastor, Agropavas, Avicola Franz, Grupo Athanaziadis, and Cooperativa Juan XXIII. Also present were Panama’s Bishop and the Mayor of Santiago.
The tunnel ventilated broiler house is completely outfitted with VAL-CO equipment: Fans, inlets, bins, fill systems, FUZE® ProLine pan feeders, Quencher drinkers, evaporative cool pad systems, tunnel doors, automated controls, brooders, and BinTRAC® weighing systems. With tunnel air speeds of over 700 feet per minute (3.5 m/s) and housing around 46,000 broiler chicks the house will serve as a model for the local poultry industries.
