For ventilation, the 33 sheds on the farm operate on the basis of an ultramodern technological system, so-called fans with continuous magnet motors are used. This will increase energy efficiency by around 50% compared to a conventional ventilation system.
At the same time, the Potcoava farm represents a pilot project in terms of research and development for what the national poultry breeding industry means, but also a benchmark for education and professional training for the sector.
"With the inauguration of this farm, our company is starting a series of internships for the future generation of agribusiness workers. Our new employees will have the opportunity to work using the most current technologies in the field, which have in the foreground the green energy component and a new animal welfare model. This is an aspect of particular importance for us, for our business philosophy", stated Andrei Brumaru, Carmistin CEO.
The chicken division ensures a turnover that represents about 60% of Carmistin's business.
Regarding the social component, for the new platform that it is developing in Olt County, the company has created, in the first stage, more than 80 new jobs, recruiting staff mainly from rural areas.
