POULTRY PRODUCERS TURN TO BLUESCOPE LYSAGHT FOR INNOVATIVE STEEL SOLUTIONS

Bangkok--Feb 20--Spark Communications BlueScope Lysaght Thailand, the leading steel building products manufacturer in Thailand, has been working closely with customers in the agricultural sector to deliver better farming solutions, in the form of closed steel sheds, which have been effective in helping to manage the spread of disease in Thailand's poultry industry. "BlueScope Steel Lysaght has received tremendous interest recently from poultry farmers in Thailand regarding our modern steel chicken sheds as these farming companies' requirements have increase for greater bio-security and they seek more hygienic and reliable farming options," says President BlueScope Steel Lysaght, Mr Andrew Heycott. The Company's Clean Room Chicken Sheds are made from galvanized high-strength steel and are built to the highest safety standard regulations. The units are strong, but lightweight, and can be constructed on site within two weeks. Clean Room Chicken Sheds are also air-tight and easy to clean because of their smooth steel surfaces. "BlueScope Lysaght Thailand has been working closely with some of our existing and potential customers to assist them in modernising their farming infrastructure. Our customers understand the benefits of our steel solutions and how our solutions differentiate from traditional sheds," says Heycott. According to BlueScope Lysaght Thailand, its modern steel chickens sheds improve productivity with the average death rate of chickens farmed in these types of sheds falling from 8% to 3% while the weight of chickens is reported to increase from 2.4 kg/chicken to 2.8 kg/chicken. Additionally, the metal ceiling allows for energy savings. The Company currently offers several building design options to Thai companies, explains Heycott. "Several flexible solutions are available to meet the different needs of poultry producers and our products are seen as especially advantageous because they ensure a sealed and managed farm environment for the poultry. This means a reduction in potential disease spread and exposure as well as improved productivity and output for the poultry producers. Overall, Clean Room Chicken Sheds is a bio-secure solution which meets the demands of modern farming." Current customers using the Company's building solutions have reported no problems during the bird flu crisis and many are now looking to expand the solutions to other agricultural segments such as pig and duck farming. "It is time for customers to move to closed environment steel sheds because they are longer-lasting, quick to erect, affordable and provide a level of protection to the poultry that is otherwise not afforded by traditional means of farming," says Heycott.
