NEW BROILER WORKSHOP SITE OPENS AT VITEBSK POULTRY FACTORY

"As for poultry farming facilities, the Vitebsk Broiler Poultry Factory 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," Alexander Subbotin noted. "Across the region as a whole, there will be facilities (under construction. - BELTA's note) mainly for dairy and beef cattle and pig farming. There will be quite a few of them, all under construction, everything is moving forward."

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 the five-year period to transfer all our feeding cows to technological year-round stall housing as much as possible," added the chairman of the regional executive committee.
