Healthy chicks are the foundation of a successful poultry business. In this message, the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) highlights why buying chicks from registered hatcheries is essential for protecting farmers, strengthening biosecurity, and sustaining Tanzania’s poultry industry.
Registered hatcheries operate under strict health, vaccination, and operational standards, helping farmers reduce disease risk, improve flock performance, and protect their investment. Poor-quality or unregistered chicks can introduce serious diseases such as Newcastle Disease, affecting not only one farm but the wider poultry sector.
The message is clear: choose registered hatcheries, verify vaccination status, seek proper training, and work closely with veterinary and extension officers. Stronger compliance today builds a stronger poultry industry tomorrow.
At Silverlands Tanzania, we support quality chicks, farmer education, and responsible poultry production across the value chain.
