00:18 And on today's new episode of Venezuela on the Move, we travel to the state of Carabobo.
00:23 Carabobo is located in the north of the country and it is an industrial region.
00:27 In this state, we will visit Don Tito, an essential poultry company for the food industry of the country.
00:32 Don Tito is one of the pioneer companies in using technologies that have helped them to improve their production and the quality of their products.
00:39 Nowadays, Venezuela is a country that produces 100% of the eggs it consumes.
00:44 Let's get to know this poultry company that has contributed to this great achievement.
00:48 Our colleagues, Adriana Cibori, with the details.
00:55 At the entrance, the Egg Monument is a poultry company.
00:59 This industrial poultry house accommodates a total of 220,000 laying hens.
01:06 Giancarlo is one of the people in charge of feeding and maintenance.
01:10 He is a farmer by birth and has been with the company for seven years.
01:15 I learned everything I know about birds here.
01:23 I had worked with other animals, with cattle, with pigs, but not with birds.
01:28 And I learned here. I started in raising and breeding, where they arrive, little ones, just 24 hours after they were born.
01:36 With these small touches, they control if they have enough calcium.
01:46 Then they are passed on to the transport machines and then they are cataloged.
01:51 Here, they produce eight different types.
01:55 70% is automated. It needs another 30% from the workers.
02:04 Without that, we can't make the selection that the company needs to be able to distribute the classification.
02:09 Having started operations in 2008, they also produce dressing and mayonnaise.
02:19 They are 256 workers. They modernize to improve production.
02:25 We are pioneers in this cutting-edge technology. Not everyone adapts. It is not easy.
02:36 Our poultry farming was of California stuffed floor hens. We innovated.
02:41 We brought technology from outside, Brazilian, European, and we have elevated the sheds of seven floors.
02:48 We have controlled the environment and we bet that our country will always be at the forefront with technology products.
02:56 I believe that Venezuela has everything to continue growing.
03:00 Before, 90% of the eggs were bought from Brazil and Colombia. Now, Venezuela produces 100% of what it consumes.
03:16 Jesus Romero and Adriana Sibori, Telesur, Carabobo, Venezuela.
