The company
Ghekiere supplies hatching eggs and viable day-old broiler chicks of high health status, providing the best starting point for broiler production.
GHEKIERE is a family business founded in 1926 as a sole proprietorship and converted into a limited company in 1978, run by GEORGE GHEKIERE and his son FILIP GHEKIERE.
Today, after more than 90 years of continuous, creative development, it has grown into a respected company with modern, company-owned hatcheries with a capacity of 700,000 chicks per week, mainly broilers and a small proportion layers.
In addition to its hatchery facilities, the company has also expanded into the breeder (parent stock) sector to meet its own needs.
Today it holds the COBB and ROSS parent stock breeds, which are raised under the care of the department headed by Dr MARTINE COELPAERT.
All parent stock are vaccinated in accordance with Belgian law, which is known to be one of the strictest in Europe.
The eggs it produces, other than those it hatches, are sold on the market.
To date it has worked successfully with countries in Africa such as LIBYA, ALGERIA, NIGERIA and CAMEROON, and in Europe such as GERMANY, FRANCE, ENGLAND and GREECE.
