The second enterprise of «Ptakhokompleks Hubyn» has started operating in the Horokhiv area; it is registered in the neighboring Lokachyn district and is known to Volyn residents mainly under the trademark «Pan Kurchak». It was created on the basis of a once-ruined collective farm complex for beef production near the village of Kholoniv. Now, during one production cycle, which (including the sanitary preparation of the premises) lasts two months, 168 thousand chickens will be raised here and a total of 338 tonnes of meat will be produced. By the way, the first similar enterprise of «Pan Kurchak» in the Horokhiv district was created and put into operation at the beginning of this year near the village of Pisky on the ruins of what was also once a collective farm complex for pork production. Its capacity makes it possible to raise 200 thousand head of poultry during one production cycle. Against such a background, few people now recall that fifteen to twenty years ago, for example, at the Kholoniv livestock complex, 10 to 12 thousand head of cattle were raised at the same time during the year (and, by the way, without any premixes), sending them for slaughter at a live weight of 450 to 550 kilograms, while at the complex in Pisky, during the year, on average also 10 thousand head of pigs were kept and fattened to the necessary weight conditions.
