Tell us what you need

Submit one request. We match you with qualified third-party manufacturers and financing options. No supplier contact details are shared until you approve.

1. What equipment do you need? *17 options

2. Type of poultry *

3. Project type *

3b. Project stage *

Tells suppliers how mature the requirement is and how to structure their quote.

4. Estimated CAPEX / procurement value (USD)

Select the bracket that best matches your allocated or anticipated budget. This helps us route the RFQ to suppliers with the right project capacity.

4b. What are you looking for?

Pick all that apply.

4c. Preferred suppliers or brands (optional)

If you already have suppliers or equipment brands in mind, list them (comma-separated). We benchmark them against comparable qualified alternatives — vendor-neutral, no lock-in.

4d. Preferred technical specification (optional)

House size, climate zone, production target, equipment standards, Incoterms, warranty terms, or any must-have scope items. The more specific, the more comparable the quotes.

4e. Target quote submission date (optional)

When do you need supplier proposals back? We align outreach and reminders to this date.

5. Expected decision / award timeline

6. Where & how big?

6b. Farm size

6c. Equipment details (optional)

6d. Incubator (setter) capacity

Egg capacity per setter batch. Hatchery suppliers size setters, hatchers, HVAC and standby power from this number — stating it removes one full clarification round.

6e. Biosecurity requirements

Select every measure that must be included in scope. Biosecurity is a major cost driver — unstated requirements are the most common reason quotes are not comparable.

6f. Backup power requirement

Ventilation and incubation cannot tolerate outages. Tell suppliers the redundancy level you expect so generators, ATS panels and UPS are priced inside the quote — not added later as a variation.

You can submit now, but adding incubator capacity, biosecurity requirements, backup power level usually removes a full clarification round and gets firmer pricing.
