Poultry farming in Argentina.
Most people automatically associate agriculture in Argentina
with cattle farming. And beef does indeed account for a large
chunk of the country’s exports. At the same time, poultry
farming has been growing steadily since the nineties.
Investment has been heavy in this sector since the beginning of the
nineties in a bid to consistently increase output. This has inevitably
meant bringing the buildings on poultry farms into line with modern
findings. Top of the list of priorities is more efficient insulation in order
to cut costs and protect fowl from what are often abrupt temperature
changes. Since 1992, the Elastospray ® PU system has been successfully
used for the thermal insulation of poultry sheds. One of the customers,
Miralejos S.A. in Brandsen in Buenos Aires province, ranks among the country’s
biggest poultry producers.
