Emsland Frischgeflügel (Fresh Poultry) keeps a close eye on its chicken operation—from feed to meat processing—to ensure a high quality standard. “We don’t throw away anything,” notes Johannes Kohne, technical manager for the Emsland Frischgeflügel production facility in Haren, Emsland. “Everything is processed—for human consumption or as high-quality animal feed.”
The Rothkötter group has three compound feed plants, as well as a hatchery and two chicken slaughtering and cutting plants. Franz Rothkötter laid the foundation for the compound feed plant in 1959. In 2003, Franz-Josef Rothkötter built the production facility in Haren. About 2,500 employees process chicken pieces from blade to fillet for food retail and further processing in various weight and packaging units.
