The Volzhanin poultry farm was the first in Russia to import the Tetra laying hen cross.

Development Director of the Volzhanin poultry farm Maria Sidorova noted that cooperation with Babolna Tetra gives the company security in terms of regular supplies. “Currently in Russia there are no domestic egg crosses, so all poultry farms are forced to purchase breeding birds of foreign selection. And the monopolization that now exists on the market, in the current geopolitical situation, can at any time lead to the cessation of supplies of breeding birds to the Russian market,” Sidorova said during the conference.

According to Dzhanarslanov, the Tetra cross is closely connected with the USSR and Russia: from the mid-1970s to the 1980s, day-old chicks of the Tetra B cross were supplied to the USSR in large quantities, and this was the first cross imported by the country. Equipment was also supplied with it. The uniqueness of the modern “Tetra” is that the bird eats little, but produces a lot of eggs: a laying hen up to 100 weeks of life - 491 eggs per year when consuming 110 g of feed per day. In addition, she almost never gets sick: survival rate up to the 17th week of life is 97-98%, in the period from 18 to 100 weeks - 92-94%.
