A partnership built on trust and knowledge
Kenchic Uganda Limited chose to work with Petersime equipment after John Torsius, Sales Manager at Petersime Approved, took the Kenchic team on a visit to a hatchery in Uganda, where they experienced Petersime’s technology in action and saw the impressive results it delivered. The hatchery visit built a solid foundation of trust and showed that Petersime Approved was the perfect partner for the Namilyango project.
Petersime Approved: secondhand incubators, firsthand support
Petersime Approved stands for secondhand Petersime incubators that come with the know-how and support customers need to successfully start up their new hatchery and keep their operations running smoothly. John Torsius explains: “With Petersime Approved, we are providing high-quality solutions to customers in specific local markets, backed up with the right technical and incubational support. Add to that the flexibility of our team and you see all the strengths of the Approved label.”
Kenchic’s new turnkey hatchery, developed in partnership with Petersime Approved, features 29 AirStreamer™ incubators, a tailor-made HVAC system and comprehensive monitoring solutions. This set-up guarantees top-notch hatchery performance, strong biosecurity and efficient operations, allowing Kenchic to meet high-quality production standards. The hatchery has been running since September 2023 and the first results have already shown a great outcome with an average of 86% hatchability for broilers, 91% for coloured birds and 41% for layers since its set-up.
Strong support for operational excellence
The Petersime Approved team played a crucial role in supplying high-quality equipment as well as providing essential training and support, which have been pivotal to Kenchic’s success in Uganda. Peter N. Makori, Hatchery Manager at Kenchic Uganda Limited, emphasized the substantial contribution of the Petersime Approved team. “With the right people and systems, you can accomplish great things,” he said. “We have great confidence in Petersime Approved, guaranteeing our hatchery’s optimal performance now and in the future.”
