A rock-solid chain
Quality day-old chicks
- Biosecurity
- Animal welfare
- Traceability
Lafaut implements safety measures at every step of the process to minimize the risk of disease entering and spreading. Our own and contracted breeders meet high standards set by IKB Kip, Belplume, and QS. We also maintain strict hygiene protocols in our hatcheries.
Our breeding animals enjoy spacious barn conditions and access to high-quality feed (GMP+) and clean water. Regular health checks and a comprehensive vaccination schedule help protect them from viruses and diseases. This approach also gives our day-old chicks a healthier start, as they benefit from vaccines passed through the egg.
Our meticulous record-keeping ensures that all our day-old chicks are fully traceable. If needed, we can quickly trace the origin of any chicks we deliver. With Lafaut Online, you always have access to all the important details about your order.
Four generations of passion for poultry
Choosing Lafaut? You’re choosing a family business that’s been committed to delivering top-notch quality for four generations.
This commitment started in the 1940s when our great-grandfather, Gerard Lafaut, set up a farm with 600 laying hens. His son, Azair, had the vision to hatch the eggs from his father’s hens into chicks.
Now, with Koen, Angela, and Maxim—the third and fourth generations—at the helm, Lafaut is expanding into the global export of hatching eggs and day-old chicks. As an independent family-owned company, we're quick, efficient, and competitive.
But what really sets us apart? Our approach. We're out there every day with the mother birds in the barn and the chicks in the hatchery. We understand your language and share your passion for poultry. We’re committed to building personal, long-term relationships with you, the poultry farmer.
