Cheap now, expensive later: the hidden cost of low-quality poultry equipment

In the poultry industry, opting for low-cost equipment may seem like a smart way to reduce expenses. However, what appears “cheap” today can become far more “expensive” tomorrow. Poor-quality materials, limited durability, early wear and tears, and sanitation challenges lead to ongoing costs, reduced productivity, and increased risks to animal welfare and biosecurity.

Product faults, breakages during transport, and overall poor-quality cost the global poultry sector millions of dollars every year. It’s an invisible yet substantial burden that affects the entire supply chain.

With over 60 years of experience, Giordano Global offers a reliable and long-lasting alternative. Their equipment for poultry farming, transport, and egg handling is built to last products made from UV-stabilized plastics and techno polymers, as well as masterbatch, easy to clean and resistant to wear; systems like the EggsCargoSystem, designed for automation, modularity, and dependable performance even after years of use.

But it’s not just about durability: Giordano’s unique product designs prioritize animal welfare, too. Transport crates and systems are specifically engineered to protect birds from injuring themselves during handling and transit. Rounded edges, smooth surfaces, and thoughtful spacing all contribute to safer conditions and maximum comfort. After all, every injured bird represents not just an animal welfare concern, but a direct financial cost as well.

Investing in high-quality equipment means fewer breakages, less waste, reduced downtime, and healthier flocks. It’s a decision that pays off both economically and operationally. In an increasingly demanding market, true cost-efficiency doesn’t come from saving today, but from avoiding hidden expenses tomorrow. With Giordano Global, quality is an investment that last.
