Morris goes single-stage with Smart in the USA

Pas Reform made its operational debut in the USA in New York State, with an agreement from Morris Hatchery, Inc. for the delivery and installation of a state of the art single stage hatchery.

The hatchery was equipped with SmartSet™ 77 setters, each with a capacity of 76800 eggs, and SmartHatch™ hatchers with capacities of 19,200 eggs each.

Broiler incubation programs are mainly for Morris Hatchery's clients in Canada, as well as for deliveries within the USA.

Ed Morris, owner and CEO of Morris Hatchery, Inc. explains: "We have made rigorous comparisons on the different systems available, and had set our mind to single stage incubation because it will produce better uniformity in our day old broilers.

"With 35 years' experience in developing and delivering single stage hatchery systems and technologies, Pas Reform stood apart as the most compelling and convincing partner for us in this new venture. The quality and durability of their machines, combined with ease of operation, seem to offer a good fit for the US market.

Their commitment to technical service, incubation knowledge and training will be geared to ensuring that we immediately see the results not only from incubation, but also during the first week of the broiler's life."

Family owned and operated Morris Hatchery, Inc. was founded in 1962, as a poultry breeding, hatching and growing business. Expansion and business development have seen Morris Hatchery become a major breeder of many different poultry strains, all housed in more than 250,000 sq.ft. of breeding and growing space, as well as expanding their operations to become one of the world's leading exporters of hatching eggs.
