The DHN Tay Ninh 2 complex forms part of a 13-project, VND13,100 billion integrated chain targeting 25 million export broilers annually by 2036.

 

Hung Nhon Group and its European partners have stocked the first batch of one million one-day-old chicks at DHN Tay Ninh 2, commissioning one of the largest high-tech broiler complexes in Southeast Asia with a designed annual capacity of five million birds.

 

The project, located in Tan Hoi commune, Tay Ninh province, represents a total investment of nearly VND275 billion (approximately US$10.8 million). It is developed through a partnership between Hung Nhon Group as farm owner and operator, De Heus Group of the Netherlands as feed and nutrition partner, and Bel Ga of Belgium as supplier of breeding stock.

 

DHN Tay Ninh 2 is one of 13 high-tech agricultural projects being implemented by Hung Nhon and De Heus in Tay Ninh, with combined investment of approximately VND13,100 billion (approximately US$514 million). By 2036, the full chain is targeted to reach a scale of 200 million breeding chickens, 25 million export broilers per year and 10,000 grandparent pigs, generating annual revenue of approximately US$2 billion.

 

The complex covers a total floor area of over 74,000 square metres and operates on a closed-system barn model with automated control of temperature, humidity, feed and water. The smart cold-farm design is intended to tighten biosecurity, minimise disease risk and support product traceability.

 

Additional partners supporting the project include Big Dutchman Group of Germany for farm equipment and livestock automation, Olmix of France for biological solutions, Boehringer Ingelheim of Germany for vaccines and animal health, and Den Ouden GrowSolutions of the Netherlands for organic fertiliser and soil improvement.

 

Vu Manh Hung, Chairman of Hung Nhon Group, said the commissioning demonstrated the technical management and coordination capacity of the partnership across breeding stock, nutrition, equipment, vaccines and animal health. Weera Phongphit, Deputy General Director of Production at Hung Nhon, said the farm operates a fully closed-loop process covering chick reception, brooding, growing, health monitoring, feed and water management, vaccination, production data recording and post-batch disinfection.

 

Alongside the stocking, Hung Nhon and De Heus conducted technical training for farm staff in partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim and Olmix, covering biosecurity, brooding procedures, barn environment control, vaccination programmes and flock health monitoring. Olmix and Boehringer Ingelheim also donated a cold storage facility for vaccine preservation to the farm.

 

Separately, De Heus and Hung Nhon previously airfreighted 1,250 grandparent and great-grandparent pigs from Canada, supplied by Topigs Norsvin, to their DHN Dak Lak High-Tech Agricultural Complex in Dak Lak province.
