integrated production chain
Feed production
Our animal feed mills produce balanced, optimised feeds according to the different ages of our hens. All production phases are controlled by our laboratories, starting from the raw materials that arrive to our plants: wheat, soy, sorghum and sunflower seeds are stored in dedicated silos and are then ground. They are later mixed and integrated with minerals and vitamins. The feed is taken to the farms on the Group's vehicles, to ensure maximum control of the hygienic conditions of the product.
Farming
We are directly responsible for the chicks and their growth, since the day they hatch. A team of veterinarians checks the health of the animals every day. We also ensure that their environmental conditions (air, water, humidity) are optimal for the well-being of the hens.
Production of egg products
The shelled eggs are pasteurised and homogenised to become egg products. Bacterial count is remarkable reduced by pasteurisation, resulting in a safe product, suitable for all artisan preparations. The balanced formulation of all our products, in this phase, results in egg products specific for artisans' different needs.
Our Certifications

The BRC standard is an inspection model adopted to evaluate and control the suppliers of food products. It was developed in England in 1998 thanks to the British Retail Consortium, with the purpose of guaranteeing the safety of agricultural products. Thanks to its efficacy and thorough requisites, it has been used as reference by European organised distribution with a wider field of application, not limited to suppliers of branded products. Eurovo has obtained the highest level of BRC certification.
