February 28, 2025, marked a historic milestone in Nigeria’s poultry industry as a state-of-the-art Noiler Hatchery was officially commissioned in Awe, Oyo State. With a staggering monthly capacity of over 2.5 million Day-Old Chicks, this facility represents a significant leap in the nation’s mission to enhance protein accessibility. The hatchery’s launch is set to revolutionize poultry production, ensuring that more Nigerians have access to high-quality Noiler chickens for improved nutrition and economic growth.
Noiler chickens, a dual-purpose species intended for meat and egg production, have grown in favor among smallholder farmers and households looking for a sustainable and consistent protein supply. This latest development strengthens Noiler’s position as a critical contributor to the nation’s food security, allowing more households to obtain nutritious chicken products while also creating job opportunities and helping local economies.
At the commissioning event, Managing Director Dr. Anand Burra emphasized the hatchery’s role in expanding poultry production and increasing protein consumption nationwide. According to him, the facility’s massive production capacity will ensure a steady supply of high-quality Noiler chicks, empowering poultry farmers with superior breeds that yield excellent returns. Group Managing Director Dr. Ayoola Oduntan underscored the importance of maintaining the highest quality standards, charging all stakeholders to ensure that every Noiler chick leaving the hatchery upholds the company’s reputation for excellence.
The commissioning ceremony was preceded by a symbolic ribbon-cutting event led by Dr. Oduntan, which signaled the hatchery’s official launch. Attendees were given an intimate tour of the modern facility, where they saw firsthand the cutting-edge equipment and painstaking techniques used to enhance chick production. Key individuals in the poultry sector attended the event, including Dr. Sunil, General Manager of Amo Farm; Mr. Emmanuel Oloruntoba, Director of Supply Chain; Mr. Olusegun Akande, Head of Internal Audit; and Mr. Victor Alabi, Amo Farm’s HRBP. Their participation highlighted the significance of this accomplishment, as well as the collaborative efforts that are propelling Nigeria’s poultry business forward.
The development of the Noiler Hatchery is more than just an extension; it heralds a new era in Nigerian poultry production. This effort, which aims to increase the availability of Noiler chickens, has the potential to improve food security, improve nutrition, and empower farmers across the country. The company’s commitment to perfection guarantees that every chick produced fulfills strict quality requirements, underlining its commitment to providing the greatest poultry products to Nigerian consumers.
Nigerian chicken farming appears to have a more promising future now that this hatchery has been established. Farmers will gain from increased productivity as more Noilers hit the market, and consumers will have easier access to wholesome chicken products. More Noilers, more possibilities, and more nutrition for everyone are just the beginning of this remarkable journey.
