Balázs Dorcsinecz said that in 2021 they successfully applied for the call for support for the development of livestock farms within the framework of the Rural Development Program, in which they won more than HUF 2 billion in support. The remaining amount was financed with a bank loan and own resources. An almost 9,000-square-meter, cooled and heated farrowing and rearing building was built, which can serve 1,000 sows and their offspring. Feeding also works with modern technology: a mixing and distribution system has been installed that can serve each trough with a separate amount and mixture of feed according to the needs of the animals there. Four 1,000-ton grain storage silos were built to store feed requirements. The heating is provided by an energy-efficient, unsupervised automatic straw-burning boiler of Danish manufacture.

They also built a manure storage facility for HUF 250 million – added the executive

Balázs Dorcsinecz said that with the new facility, their stock of breeding sows increased from the previous 700 to 1,700. The 700 animals that existed before are kept in a separate building, and there is also a fattening station for them. 20 percent of the pigs are sold as piglets to fattening dogs through the Alföldi Pig Sales and Purchasing Agricultural Cooperative. According to the plans, a fattening station will also be built on the farm for the new herd. They won a tender for it, optimally, construction could start in late spring – indicated the executive.
