00:04 Today we reinforce our support for Marcos administration in ensuring a food secured Philippines.
00:12 This is the state-of-the-art Magnolia Poultry Farm in Hagonoy, Davao del Sur.
00:20 Built out of a commitment to serve the country.
00:24 It is only one of 12 mega poultry farms that will rise in different parts of the country.
00:33 At our mega farms, premium nutrition comes with optimal living conditions for the well-being, growth and productivity of our chickens.
00:45 Each farm will have as many as 28 modules of 5 houses each, equipped with automated controlled climate technology to achieve the right temperature, humidity and air quality for bird comfort.
01:05 This closed housing design and strict biosecurity controls help protect our chickens from harmful diseases.
01:15 Each one will have the capacity to raise anywhere from 40 to 80 million chickens a year.
01:23 Each bird weighing up to 2.5 kilos, which will give Filipinos easy access to the lowest priced and one of the healthiest sources of protein.
01:38 San Miguel Foods seeks to generate net positive environmental and social impact by consolidating the various stages of food production.

02:01 It means providing jobs and much needed livelihood opportunities, in particular our very own corn and cassava farmers.
02:12 Because as we grow, we want them to grow with us.
02:17 In Santa Cruz, Davao, bulk feeding ingredients are brought in and stored in our grain terminal.
02:24 Then the feed milling process begins, a critical step in the value chain of poultry production.
02:33 The production of these chickens start from day old quality chicks from our poultry hatchery. All across our operations, computerized feeding and watering systems ensure a consistent supply of food and water for the birds.
02:51 While conveyor harvesting systems are in place to avoid manually picking up the chickens for transport in coupes to the processing plant.
03:02 Here, our advanced processing equipment maintain the quality of the meat, while a ready to eat line adds value to the final product.
03:14 Because circular economy principles are key in all this, the plant is designed with a proper waste water treatment and rendering facilities.
03:26 Feathers, offal and mortalities are transformed into poultry meal as feed ingredients for other species.
03:35 While the large volume of manure generated from the bird population are made into organic fertilizer, which are provided to our corn and cassava farmers.
03:48 San Miguel Foods is committed to making transformational change by institutionalizing sustainable farm practices for food and nutrition security.
04:02 For the Filipino people. For the Philippines. For the planet.
