Chile’s Agricola Ariztia has started a new phase of hatchery expansions and renovations at two of its five hatcheries. At the Malvilla hatchery, the company’s largest, Ariztia is renovating and expanding with Smartpro™ NF, on the 54-egg tray produced by Pas Reform North America. Its hatchery in Arica, in northern Chile, will expand with Royal Pas Reform’s SmartPro™ series on the 150-egg tray.

Don Manuel Ariztia, founder of Melipilla-based Agricola Ariztia, comments: “We have been working in a very professional way with the Pas Reform team – whether they have come from Europe, or the USA. In both cases, they have helped us greatly with advice based on their in-depth knowledge of incubation.
“We have seen very good results, both with the SmartPro™ NF and the SmartPro™ series. The SmartPro™ NF option suited us very well when that came to market. It meant that we could incorporate Pas Reform’s incubation technology, while at the same time staying with the 54-egg flat. It made the change over seamless and very simple for us to achieve.”
Steve Warren, President of Pas Reform North America, says:” The SmartProNF series has shown great results here at home in the USA. Leading groups like Wayne and Pilgrims are now operating with SmartProNF. We are happy to have made now serious steps internationally as well. This year we have concluded projects in Thailand and we are now extremely happy to have expanded further with Agricola Ariztia in Chile.”
