NEW SITE OF BROILER WORKSHOP OPENED AT VITEBSK POULTRY FARM

"Regarding poultry farming facilities, the Vitebsk Broiler Poultry Farm is the headliner here, so several additional sites are planned to fully utilize the processing workshop and plant that have been built and are successfully operating," noted Alexander Subbotin. "Across the region as a whole, there will be facilities (under construction. - Ed. BELTA) mainly for dairy and beef cattle and pig farming. There will be quite a few of them, everything is under construction, everything is moving."

The head of the northern region recalled that 13 dairy farms are under construction in the region this year alone. "Thirteen are under construction, and we are commissioning three by the end of this year. We need to build 96 farms over five years to transfer all our feeding cows to technological year-round stall housing as much as possible," the chairman of the regional executive committee added.
