Who we are:
At Aviagen, we're not just leaders in the industry, we're pioneers, developing pedigree lines for broiler chickens and turkeys across the globe. We aren't just a company; we are a global community dedicated to revolutionising poultry breeding.
With a presence in over 120 countries and production bases across five continents, Aviagen stands as a beacon of innovation and quality in the poultry industry.

You'll be able to achieve a 98% accuracy rate, a 48.5% sexing split, and a minimum sexing rate of 900 chicks per hour. Your working days and hours are dependent on the hatch schedule and this will change on a week-to-week basis.
