In this case study, you can find out how Pulcap’s product helps egg production farms in highly extreme conditions. In our work so far, Pulcap has faced various challenges with Poultry Red Mite control.
Some farms can get to extremely difficult situations, where the costs caused by Poultry Red Mites can reach up to € 2.5 per each hen inhabited into facility. Such a problem occurred on this farm in Hungary. We determined that the farm is heavily infested with Poultry Red Mites, while production results indicate on huge mortality rate among the hens. Pulcap treatment was over-needed!
First table, on the production process in facility number three on the farm. In the 41st week, hens have a mortality of 16.34%, but according to Lohmann production technology, it should be 1.9%. By applying 10% of Pulcap technology with additional vitamins to exhausted hens, the effects were achieved. The table is showing better numbers, two months after the treatment. Mortality has increased by 1.65%, and according to the production technology for that period, mortality can be increased by 0.9%. So, using Pulcap technology, we managed to bring exhausted hens back to the level of the Lohmann Management Guide.
Second table presents the production process in facility number four on the same farm. In the 53rd week, hens have a mortality of 25.07%, but according to Lohmann technology, it should be 3.1%. By applying 10% of Pulcap technology with additional vitamins to exhausted hens, the effects were achieved. The table is showing better numbers, three months after the treatment. Mortality has increased by 2.14%, and according to the production technology for that period, mortality can be increased by 1.4%. So, using Pulcap technology, we managed to bring exhausted hens back to the level of the Lohmann Management Guide. As we had successful cooperation in disaster prevention on this farm, we got a new contract for the next year.
The contract included treatment of the empty farm facilities before the new poultry inhabitation, with monitoring and control of a poultry red mite development, during the whole production process. The last table, you can see the great production results from the second year cooperation. The Pulcap’s treatment was done 20 days before the poultry moves in. In the 75th week, the mortality rate is 4.23%, and according to Lohmann technology, it can be best at 5.30% Within previous hens, the mortality rate was as high as 30% in the 75th week.
That means that the Pulcap, together with the farm management, saved to company 25% of hens mortality, which is equivalent to the savings of 6,000 hens on this farm with 24,000 hens, or approximately € 18,000, according to the average value of the hen per year. This farm was just one of many extreme cases in which Pulcap has proven its efficiency in controlling Poultry Red Mites and establishing healthy egg production.
