Company will sort birds by gender; females to support south Alabama, males going to area farms.
Wayne-Sanderson Farms Dobson recently hatched dual efficiencies with a $1.3 million hatchery expansion, improving the work environment for team members while adding a new gender-sorting capability to the 25,000 square foot facility. The company recently made an operational decision to sort birds by gender at the Dobson facility with females going to support south Alabama small-bird operations and males going to area farms to support Dobson production.
“Since we were going to gender identification and sorting here, we needed more space, so it only made sense to improve the work environment for our people at the same time” explained Dobson Complex Manager Matthew Wooten.
