Grano Trade LLC (Kyiv) intends to build a full-cycle pig farm in the village of Zabilivschyna (Chernihiv region), designed for the constant maintenance of 250 sows producing up to 8,600 marketable piglets per year, according to the data of the Unified Register of Environmental Impact Assessment of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
According to the published data, the construction of the farm is planned on a plot with a total area of 9.63 hectares, leased by Grano Trade. Previously, no livestock activities were carried out on this territory.
It is clarified that the project includes the construction of a pigsty for 250 animals, a fattening pigsty, a feed room, a sanitary inspection room, a solid fuel boiler house, a loading ramp, a sanitary slaughterhouse, a plant for thermal destruction of animal by-products, closed manure storage facilities, two artesian wells and other auxiliary buildings.
The enterprise under construction provides for a technological process according to Danish technology, based on keeping separate groups of animals in special rooms with their differentiated feeding. The pigs are planned to be kept on slatted floors without bedding with the equipment of the premises with a system of self-removal of animal waste.
The project of the pig complex provides for a full three-phase cycle of breeding marketable piglets, consisting of a 28-day breeding cycle, a 53-day rearing cycle and an 86-day piglet feeding cycle. Thus, the cycle from birth to shipment of marketable animals for slaughter is 167 days, which makes it possible to implement two complete livestock breeding cycles per year (total – 8,600 animals per year).
According to the register, the expansion of the enterprise’s capacity will contribute to an increase in the range of meat products in the region, increase tax revenues to the local budget and create new jobs.
According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, Lion Konovaliuk is the ultimate beneficiary of Grano Trade LLC.
According to the data on the company’s website, the main activity of Grano Trade is the purchase and trading of basic agricultural crops: wheat, corn, barley, sunflower and rapeseed. Grano Trade cooperates with more than 1,000 agricultural producers with a land bank from 3,000 to 20,000 hectares.
