Kekava to improve biosafety standards

 

According to Ms. Avota, the company wants to place disinfection barriers at the driveways leading to the farm. The measure is taken in order to ensure compliance with high biosafety and animal welfare standards.

Furthermore, 21 poultry houses will be modernized and equipped with external barriers which will make possible a more effective cleaning and will prevent rodents from entering.

The company said the project will be finalized by July 2018.

Kekava reported a turnover of 57.219 million in 2016 and a loss of 314,181 euros.

The company was founded in 1967 and exports poultry products to Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Uzbekistan and the Netherlands. Kekava wants to become the leader among Baltic poultry meat producers.
