Poduction of Eggs and Egg products.

Argentine Company dedicated to the production of Eggs and Egg products based on vegetal origin proteins.

PRODUCTION CYCLE

1.- BALANCED FOOD PLANT

All the manufacturing processes carried out here are automated, from the reception of raw materials to the dispatch of balanced feed.

It has a production capacity of 36 t / hour. The resulting balanced feed is intended for the exclusive use in the company and is distributed by means of its own trucks that only circulate within the premises, without ever leaving it, which avoids any risk of cross contamination by contact on routes with other potentially dangerous vehicles. .

2.- FARMING FARM

Placed in an isolated area, they are located not less than 5 km (3.2 miles) from any other external poultry producing farms and the distance between each of our own rearing farms is not less than 1000 m (1100 yards) apart from each other. These distances minimize biological risks of cross-vaccination with unsuitable strains for the age of the pullets.
Each farm has its own vehicle disinfection station and another to sanitize all the entering elements. The incoming staff is only allowed in after taking a shower and getting dressed with appropriate clothing, which is sanitized on a daily basis by the Company.
Our Rearing Farms are conceived to reduce possible risks of cross contamination. Each house has a capacity of 130,000 BB chicks. The houses are split longitudinally in two areas, which make it possible to control temperature, ventilation, feeding and lighting independently. The latter is managed through dimmable lighting equipment that employs a blackout and variable intensity system.
Each core Rearing farm has comfortable living quarters for the farmer in charge. It also has all the necessary equipment needed for exclusive internal use, as well as for vaccination (spray, syringes, etc.), bird handling (to transfer pullets to Layers houses), barn cleaning and surrounding areas.

3.- LAYERS FARM

The Layers Farm is separated 2 km (1,3 miles) from our nearest Rearing Farm. Each Layer house has a capacity for 128,000 birds and it corresponds to one Rearing house, which allows keeping the traceability of the flocks.
The Layer house has an automated and independent system for the constant control of temperature, food and water consumption, in addition to record the eggs produced by rows through 64 counters in each house. This allows the monitoring of the productive status of the layers.
The eggs are sent automatically to the Transfer Center through a chain egg conveyor, by this way under no circumstances will the eggs be manipulated by human hands and they are moved to the Grading Plant and/or to the Egg Processing Plant.

4.- GRADING PLANT

The eggs that come from the houses enter the Grading Plant by means of an automatic Egg conveyor, without anybody touching them.
Here they are graded and classified into categories, being that the shell eggs could be sent to the international or domestic customers, according to different market requirements.

5.- EGG PROCESSING PLANT

Unique due to its equipment and technology, this is the XXI Century Egg Processing Plant. Automated processes, preventive and monitoring possible yolk traces in the egg white by electronic analysis of digital images, pasteurizers according to EU regulations, horizontal box dryers with indirect air heating and Hot Rooms with innovative design that give a homogenous heat treatment to the product, are combined in this unique model plant to give uniformity and safety to each batch produced. The finished Egg product undergoes strict sensory, functionality, physicochemical and microbiological controls to assure its innocuousness, quality and compliance with the specifications agreed with the clients. The Processing Plant satisfies all EU rules and sanitary regulations, for the services that supply it (sanitary steam, industrial water, etc.) as well as for the Egg Products. As part of the Good Manufacturing Practices program it executes a robust HACCP plan. The same dedication and responsibility that guides the production of the Egg products applies to the protection of the environment. In that sense, all the industrial sewage of the Plant are treated with Dry Artificial Swamps (DAS) technology and can return to the natural watercourses without damaging them.

FACILITIES

Created with Lunacy

Ovobrand’s facilities are built according to advanced standards and the latest generation of equipment. The 1,300 hectares (3,250 acres) that integrate the premises of our company have a circuit of 6.5 km (4 miles) of internal roads that are of exclusive use for the activities of Egg production and Egg products...

PROCESSING

Created with Lunacy

This XXI Century Egg Processing Plant leaves behind the open processes of breaking and filtering, where the content of the egg was in contact with the environment. Without handling the egg, we avoid its microfissure and the contamination that this implies, as the Egg Layer Farm and the Processing Plant...

FOREIGN TRADE

Settled in one of the most important food supplier countries of the world, absence of Newcastle Disease in the last 25 years (certified by the OIE) and with the accurate distance between farms, Ovobrand is framed in an optimal...
