Strengthening Global Turkey Production: Ariztia Visits U.S. Operations
Fostering International Collaboration in Turkey Farming
In July 2024, Hybrid Turkeys organized a cross-continental farm visit. We welcomed representatives from Ariztia, a top turkey producer from Chile, to the United States.
As part of our work to improve turkey production, these visits create valuable chances to share knowledge and inspire innovation in the turkey industry.
Enrique Marinao, Livestock Operations Manager at Ariztia, toured our key sites: the growing and laying farms in Ipswich and the turkey hatchery in Beresford, SD.
These facilities play a key role in Hybrid Turkeys' North American network, helping turkey growers achieve strong flock performance and sustainable operations.
About Ariztia: A Pillar of Poultry Excellence in Latin America
Ariztia, founded over 130 years ago, stands for excellence in poultry and turkey production across Latin America.
Known for quality, innovation, and integrity, Ariztia works with Hybrid Turkeys to improve genetics, animal welfare, and farm management over the past three decades.
Hands-On Learning: Farm Tours and Hatchery Visits
During their U.S. visit, the Ariztia team toured Dawson Colony and Lakeview Colony, two leading turkey farms known for their innovative practices and strong management. These visits led to in-depth discussions on:
- Flock management strategies
- Brooding and grow-out systems
- Environmental controls and ventilation
- Biosecurity protocols
- Innovations in feed and water management
The visit to the Beresford hatchery in South Dakota offered additional insights into the latest incubation and poult handling technologies—essential elements in delivering strong, healthy flocks to turkey growers worldwide.

- New perspectives on operational efficiency
- Fresh ideas for optimizing commercial turkey health and performance
- Enhanced transparency and industry partnerships
