|
Chemvet Steel & Fencing, leaders in Chicken Housing Solutions in South Africa, is now also supplying Layer Breeder Chicken Housing to Papua New Guinea. Papau New Guinea, a small island nation lies directly north of Australia and is approximately 12000 kilometres from South Africa. With China around the corner, the buzzling economy of Australian literally on their doorstep and direct access to Europe and the America’s it is indeed a feather in the hat of our local Chicken Housing suppliers. Nick du Plessis, Director at Chemvet Steel & Fencing explains: “We have been approached by Hubbard UK to assist with their grandparent stock breeding program in Papua New Guinea. Our modular house design made a huge impact on the logistical efficiency of the project. Houses that have previously been shipped in six or seven containers can now be shipped in three containers.” Mr Stéphane Duthoit, CEO of Hubbard says, “the world is facing growing demand from an increasing population and limiting natural resources, but against other meats, poultry compares favourably in terms of feed conversion, carbon footprint and production cycle. It is the most efficient way to feed the world with animal protein" Adding the efficiency of Chemvet’s Chicken Houses this equation ratio quadruples. Papua New Guinea is the largest developing country in the South Pacific region with 463,000 square kilometres of land area. PNG's population in 2009 was estimated at 6.6 million and is growing by an annual average rate of 2.7% (2000 Census). Most of the population lives in rural communities based on the traditional village structure and dependent on subsistence farming supplemented by cash cropping. Agriculture provides a subsistence livelihood for 85% of the people. Increasing the efficiency of their poultry farming will not only improve the local farmers ability to supply food, but will increase the likelihood of exports. Chemvet has already supplied ten conventional layer breeder houses to PNG with another ten on its way. These houses are ideally suited for the rural areas where energy to the houses is supplied through solar panels. Each house covers 1250m2 with a breeding production capacity of 25 000 parent stock. Future plans for Papua New Guinea includes the supply of Chemvet’s award winning environmentally controlled houses for areas where a steady supply of electricity is available. |

Why did the chicken cross the road? (The Australian version) |
||
.jpg) |
JEFF KENNETT:If the chicken did cross the road it should have been fitted with an etag and should pay the same toll as all other road users. STEVE BRACKS:Regional chickens should have the same opportunities to cross roads as chickens living in Melbourne. JOHN HOWARD:The chick never crossed the road. And it was not forcibly removed from its mother! Anyway, that's a matter for the states and is of no interest to us. The united nations should butt out. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: I envision a world where all chickens, be they black or white or brown or red or speckled, will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed and that was good enough for us. FREUD: the fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. How do you feel about your mother? EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken? BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could you define the word 'chicken'. |
