Registration of hatcheries and establishments for the production of hatching eggs
If you run one of the following establishments, you must submit an application for registration.
- Incubators with a capacity of 1000 hatcheries or more: Fertilized eggs are hatched in incubators. The hatched young chicks are delivered to fattening poultry farmers and pullet rearers.
- Breeding farms with 100 or more animals: The hatching eggs produced there are to be used to hatch breeding chicks, reproductive chicks or utility chicks.
- Propagation farms with 100 or more animals: Utility chicks are to hatch from the hatching eggs produced there.
When you register your company, you will receive an identification number.
In Germany, the identification number begins with DE, the first two digits stand for the respective federal state, followed by a serial number for the establishment (three digits), a digit for the type of farm and a two-digit number for the poultry species(s) to which the activity of the farm extends.
