This inconsistency leads to market volatility, impacting prices and threatening the sustainability of small-scale hatcheries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond overproduction, hatchery operations face additional hurdles such as poor hatching egg quality, inadequate storage and incubation conditions, transportation issues, challenges in managing fertility, and the lack of modern incubation equipment. These issues disproportionately impact small and medium-scale poultry farmers, who often pay higher prices for DOCs at volatile rates\u2014directly affecting their profitability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these gaps, the <strong>PoultryTechBangladesh<\/strong> initiative designed a comprehensive training program focused on hatchery practices. The program includes both theoretical and hands-on components covering hatchery management, incubation technologies, egg storage, and hatchery data management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good hatchery outcomes depend on the effective use of the right tools\u2014equipment, hatching eggs, hygiene chemicals\u2014combined with sound procedures and skilled personnel. Such insights were shared during a 3-day workshop on <strong>\u201cHatchery Management\u201d<\/strong>, held from <strong>16th\u201318th June 2025<\/strong> in <strong>Gulshan, Dhaka<\/strong>, as part of the PoultryTechBangladesh project. The sessions were conducted by <strong>Mr. Gerd de Lange<\/strong>, Senior Poultry Specialist, and <strong>Ms. Lotte Hebbink<\/strong>, Incubation Specialist, both from <strong>Royal Pas Reform<\/strong>. The event was jointly organized by <strong>Larive International<\/strong>, <strong>LightCastle Partners<\/strong>, and <strong>Axon Limited<\/strong>, with support from the <strong>Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeJsvenk3teSNQXmT3A4-LEZOU8O0K9sJJwE3aBeymORD3vqePzTrf1rEGDTkp0KyU1sW8gccrcAnEYOvGo7rUXSi3JSVCApgy_es3-gBZLZtBixXZAQbzvnlXOZPJucZfyqq0Zcg?key=0nRDxCIHDL67lhXw1nhxQg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:705px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXedQPygDVYWPI4A-cp8gSB2wOlVk2oHHOf8Db--s8eJeAPkqKZr_sDyN_fD8jNcisVPgdtEFihkfYT24RC8Orc8qHUEAZXDLfQhr4YHwmMnxaWcl-pHJDCMSgST1QNT-cRd07ESeA?key=0nRDxCIHDL67lhXw1nhxQg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:709px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On day 1, the event kicked off with a keynote on the PoultryTechBangladesh project by Ms. Naziba Ali, Business Analyst at LightCastle Partners.
