Unigold Foods Embarks on Phase 1 of Vertical Integrated Poultry Farm Project

"Unigold Foods Ltd continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence in poultry farming, setting new benchmarks for the industry. The company has officially commenced activities at its Phase 1 site, strategically located within the University of Benin."
This initiative is part of a larger vision to create a vertically integrated poultry farming system that aligns with sustainable practices and cutting-edge technology..
The operationalization of the first poultry rearing house on this site marks a significant milestone in Unigold Foods' journey toward transforming poultry farming in Nigeria and beyond. The commencement of broiler grow-out at this facility is a testament to the company's meticulous planning, adherence to global best practices, and focus on delivering premium poultry products.
Unigold has gone the extra mile by equipping the rearing house with advanced
monitoring systems, including state-of-the-art CCTV cameras. These cameras provide
real-time footage of the operations, ensuring transparency, optimal animal welfare,
and strict adherence to biosecurity protocols. This technological integration
reflects Unigold's forward-thinking approach and its commitment to fostering
accountability at every stage of production.
The establishment of this facility also underscores the fruitful collaboration
between Unigold Foods Ltd and the University of Benin. The partnership leverages the
university's academic environment and Unigold's industry expertise to create a
blueprint for future agricultural projects in Nigeria. By situating the farm within
the university, Unigold opens up opportunities for knowledge transfer, research, and
capacity building, paving the way for the next generation of agricultural
innovators.
Unigold Foods is not just creating a farm; it is laying the foundation for a
transformative agricultural model that prioritizes efficiency, sustainability, and
community impact. The company envisions this phase as the first step in a broader
plan to expand its integrated poultry operations, which will include feed
production, hatchery management, and processing plants in subsequent phases.
With the successful commencement of broiler grow-out and the seamless integration of
technology, Unigold Foods Ltd is poised to revolutionize the poultry farming
industry. This milestone sets the stage for the company to emerge as a leader in
integrated poultry farming, driving innovation, economic growth, and food security
in the region.
