In 2022, KSG Agro will invest UAH 15 million in the reconstruction of the pig farm. This was reported by the press service of the agricultural holding.
In the first half of 2022, KSG Agro will reconstruct the fattening building at the pig farm in the village of Niva Trudova (Apostolov district, Dnipropetrovsk region) for 2 thousand square meters.
“Our key task is to increase the number and quality of pigs,” said Vasyl Starobor, director of Strong-Invest, responsible for the development of the pig farm. “Reconstruction will increase the number of fattening places by 10%”.
At present, the pig farm contains 52.5 thousand pigs at a time. After the reconstruction, their number will increase by 2.5 thousand and will reach one-time maintenance about 55 thousand, to increase sales of pigs by 7% per year.
“Reconstruction of the fattening complex, among other things, will allow us to increase the level of biosafety,” says Vasyl Starobor. “With its commissioning, sanitary gaps will be widened and the number of sanitary treatments will increase.”
The total amount of investments at the first stage will be UAH 15 million. Part of the equipment of the German company Big Dutchman has already been purchased, and the remaining part will be procured during the first quarter of 2022.
Vasyl Starobor also said that from the beginning of the second half of 2022 the reconstruction of the reproduction site will begin to be completed in the first half of next year. This will increase the number of sows by 30%, from 4.5 thousand to 6.5 thousand heads.
