This project involves the installation of egg processing and handling equipment associated with an additional 32,000 poultry layer unit. Two poultry units of 16,000 layers each are already in production at Langdon Farm, and were built without any grant support.
This initial investment has proved successful for the business, and increasing demand for Welsh eggs through Oaklands has encouraged the business to consider installing an additional 32,000 layer unit. This new shed will be erected near to the current sheds, however all the eggs will be transported to the current egg processing room.
It is therefore hoped that grant support can be secured for belts and conveyors that will be required to transport the eggs to the processing room, a Packer, Traystacker, Robot, Outfeed table, Accumulator table, Egg counters, Egg pack House at the end of the new shed and a grading machine (for selling eggs direct to shops etc.).
