It does not merely deliver the day-old chick but also ensures customers have easy access to attentive advice so they can achieve the greatest possible success with their broilers. Its experienced consultants have high professional expertise, ensuring specialized advice across all parts of broiler production. DanHatch says it wants to enter partnerships in which both sides learn from each other, develop and create growth together. The company's product range includes hatching eggs, day-old chicks and the FarmBorn method. All hatching eggs from DanHatch come from the group's own hatching-egg production or from affiliated contract producers, all of whom fully meet DanHatch's high production standards. Day-old chicks are hatched at the company's own hatcheries, which have modern facilities and a high level of biosecurity. FarmBorn is a method within broiler production in which chicks are hatched in the producer's barn. DanHatch exports hatching eggs and day-old broiler chicks to a wide range of countries within and outside the EU. The company presents itself as growth-oriented and international, entering new markets, expanding and achieving synergies across geographical borders and professional differences. It describes this as requiring a dynamic organization and skilled, committed employees, and it actively recruits through a careers page. In 2022 DanHatch began phasing out its pig production, focusing its business further on poultry genetics and hatching.
