Applying for registration of a hatchery
Description
If you want to run a business whose activity consists of placing hatching eggs in incubators, incubating these eggs and supplying chicks, you must apply to the competent authority for registration.
The following businesses must be registered:
- Hatcheries with a capacity of 1,000 hatching eggs or more
- Breeding and multiplication farms with a capacity of 100 animals or more
If a business meets at least one of the above criteria, it must submit an application to register.
- Application for registration of a holding in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 617/2008 with regard to the marketing standards for hatching eggs and chicks of poultry
- Contradiction
- You submit an application for registration as a hatchery, breeding or multiplication farm
- The competent authority examines your application and informs you of the result in writing.
- Upon registration, your farm will be assigned an identification number.
- The permit can be revoked at any time if the necessary requirements are no longer met.
Upon registration, the farm is assigned an identification number. This identification number depends, among other things, on the type of business in question, i.e. a pure hatchery receives a different identification number than, for example, a multiplication farm with an attached hatchery.
This means that a separate registration application is required for each farm that is involved in one or more of these areas.
