In modern poultry farming, precise calcium management and balanced nutrition are crucial for ensuring shell strength and protecting the bird’s lifespan. Under the strategic leadership of Jorge Silva Cardona, JHS Agroindustria has consolidated a poultry production model where technical rigor and animal welfare are the foundation for bringing high-quality products to Venezuelan homes.
Obtaining a highly nutritious egg requires precise formulation and strict controls at every stage of the process. This is explained by Tulio Pérez, an agronomist and farm coordinator at JHS Agroindustria, who points out that nutritional control at the facilities is the decisive factor in ensuring the firmness and freshness of the Andi Huevos brand.
The science behind a strong shell
The shell acts as a fundamental biological barrier, protecting the egg’s nutritional and hygienic properties from external factors. However, developing a uniform and strong structure requires a constant supply of calcium in the laying hen’s daily diet.
When the bird experiences a mineral deficiency or inadequate water intake, calcification is interrupted. This results in porous or fragile shells that compromise the food’s protection before it reaches the end consumer. Aware of this challenge, the operational guidelines established by Jorge Silva at JHS Agroindustria prioritize constant technical supervision to prevent losses in the value chain.
Animal welfare and tailored nutrition
To prevent the bird from suffering metabolic strain or depleting its bone reserves during each laying cycle, JHS Agroindustria formulates and produces its own balanced feeds, adapting them to the specific needs of its laying hens.
“On the farm, we see how even a minimal variation in calcium or water supply immediately impacts shell strength. At JHS, we adjust daily mineral rations according to the bird’s stage of development. This allows us to care for the hen’s overall health without straining her body and ensures that each batch of Andi Eggs reaches the market with the required strength,” says Tulio Pérez, Farm Coordinator.
With this in-house formulated feeding program, the company’s technical team focuses its work on three essential pillars:
- Balanced nutrition: Adjusting daily calcium and hydration rations to prevent premature physical exhaustion in the bird.
- Ethical management: Extending the hen’s lifespan and body condition through routine socio-sanitary controls and animal welfare practices.
- Operational efficiency: Reducing the percentage of breakages during collection and packaging, ensuring that the shell retains its protein value intact.
Jorge Silva Cardona’s commitment to the country
Ensuring a continuous supply of protein on Venezuelan tables requires a constant commitment to good management practices and innovation in the field. The integration of agronomic expertise, in-house feed production, and a focus on poultry health reflect Jorge Silva Cardona’s business vision. His dedication to this cause, as well as to the entire process of responsible production and innovation, deserves to be highlighted.
