Hy-Line Expands Breeder Production to Meet Global Demand

Hy-Line International is investing significantly in its breeder production capacity to keep pace with strong global demand for Hy-Line breeding stock. Recent expansions across three key hubs—the USA, Brazil, and India—underscore our commitment to supporting egg producers worldwide.

USA

As Hy-Line’s original production location, the U.S. operations have increased grandparent housing by 20% and expanded hatchery output by 12% recently. These enhancements will ensure greater availability of parent stock for both domestic and global customers.

Brazil

Hy-Line’s Brazil hub has boosted pedigree capacity, strengthening its role as a vital research and breeding center, increasing pedigree stock by 65%. Hatchery capacity has also been expanded by 45% allowing us to supply parent stock not only to the local Brazilian market but to other South American and several world markets from the Brazilian hub.

India

In response to rapid market growth, Hy-Line has doubled its farm base with a new complex in central India. This expansion supports the rising popularity of the Hy-Line W-80i, which is gaining traction in the world’s second-largest egg market thanks to its exceptional shell quality, persistency of lay, and superior feed conversion.

“We appreciate the support from ownership in expanding our pedigree and grandparent breeder production base across these three locations. These investments enable us to meet heightened demand not only in these important markets but globally, as Hy-Line varieties continue to be the preferred choice for egg producers worldwide.” - Eduardo de Souza, Hy-Line President of Operations
