3 About us Vinovo Select Line TM Today, in ovo vaccination is a proven method for application of various vaccines in a hatchery. It offers many advantages over other (manual) post-hatch treatments, such as: Earlier immunity Uniform vaccine delivery Reduced stress for day old chicks Lower labor costs These advantages combined with the development of many new in ovo vaccines, capable of protecting the birds against various diseases for their complete lifespan, promises a great growth potential for this technology. The process and technique used to deliver vaccines in ovo is essential, as the injection and delivery must be made to the precise location within the egg and requires the highest possible level of hygiene. Turn-key Worldwide Hygiene Quality Software Control Innovation Bio-securety Unique Animal Welfare Based on these challenges, Viscon Hatchery Automation has developed the new standard in safe in ovo vaccination. This product line carries the new Viscon brand VINOVO and offers hatcheries a bio-secure solution that will improve health and welfare of chicks, starting from the earliest stage in the hatchery.

4 Vinovo Select Inject Vaccination of only eggs with living embryos Only eggs with living embryos are being vaccinated. The non-viable eggs (infertile eggs and dead embryos) remain untouched in the setter tray for processing in a separate waste room, creating better hygiene and maximum vaccine saving. Accurate injection and placement of the vaccine Mechanical grippers re-position the living eggs in perfect perpendicular position under the injection tools. Adjustable needle dept per flock improves accuracy by variation of egg sizes. Durable and safe injection method Robust punch for egg shell penetration with an internal needle prevents damage or blockage of the needle and guarantees a durable method of vaccine administration. Needle sanitation Automatic punch and needle sanitation reduces the risk of cross-contamination from egg to egg. Live Embryo Detection Heartbeat and candling technology accurately identifies: Living embryos Infertile eggs Early dead embryos Late dead embryos and rotten eggs

5 Vinovo Select Line Better protected & healthier birds! Vinovo Select Transfer Transfer of only eggs with living embryos Only eggs with living embryos are being transferred to the hatcher baskets. The non-viable eggs (infertile eggs and dead embryos) remain untouched in the setter tray for processing in a separate waste room. Hygiene enhancing gripper technology Another hygienic improvement is realized by selective transfer of the viable eggs by use of mechanical grippers. The grippers gently pinch the eggs during transfer, do not touch the area of injection and prevent air movement inside the eggs.

6 VINOVO: The next generation in-ovo vaccination The VINOVO Select Line consists of three innovative machines: Live Embryo Detection, Vinovo Select Inject and Select Transfer The Live Embryo Detection accurately indicates which eggs contain a living embryo and classifies the non-viable eggs as infertile, early or late dead embryos. Exactly knowing the content of each egg, enables selective processing during in ovo vaccination, egg transfer and waste discharge. The VINOVO Select Inject in ovo vaccination machine and the Select Transfer machine will only process the eggs that contain a living embryo. Better protected & healthier birds. More efficiency. Improved hygiene and biosecurity Non-viable eggs can be a biological hazard, especially when they contain a dead embryo or are rotten. In many cases these eggs hold pathogenic bacteria, which can be transmitted by contact (e.g. needles or vacuum naps) or airborne when these eggs break or explode during take-out, injection or transfer. The Vinovo Select Line improves the vaccination and transfer procedure by accurate detection of living embryos and reversing the sequence of egg processing. First only the viable eggs are vaccinated and transferred to the hatcher baskets. The non-viable eggs (infertile and eggs with dead embryos) remain untouched in the setter tray, which is moved to a separate waste room where the infertile eggs can be taken out for resource recovery and the remaining dead eggs for disposal. Because this procedure takes place in a separate room and eggs with dead embryos or bangers do not enter the hatchers anymore, the spread of pathogens is prevented. Creating a more hygienic and safer environment for the chicks to hatch.

7 Higher vaccine efficacy In a practice eggs are never in a perfect straight position in a setter tray. When injecting these eggs as they are positioned in the setter tray, they are not penetrated exactly at the top and center of the egg. This causes inaccurate delivery and thus lower efficacy rates of the vaccine. The Vinovo Select Inject lifts the viable eggs gently out of the setter tray and re-positions each egg in a perfect perpendicular position under the injection tools, by means of a patent pending egg holder. This ensures that the eggs are penetrated at the top of the egg and the tip of the needle is positioned in the correct compartment inside the egg (amnion cavity or embryo) to deliver the vaccine. The possibility to adjust the needle dept based on the average egg size of each flock further improves the accuracy of vaccine placement and thus protection of the birds. The Vinovo Select Inject uses a punch + needle as injection method. A robust punch first penetrates the egg shell and an inside needle safely delivers the vaccine in the right location inside the egg. This is a proven technology that is both durable and hygienic. Compared to single needle systems, it prevents damage or blockage of the needle and ensures a reliable vaccine delivery. Less vaccine wasted Accurate detection of living embryos by means of heartbeat sensors and selective injection of only these viable eggs, prevents vaccine wastage due to useless injection of non-viable eggs. Additional vaccine saving compared to traditional techniques is 3-5%, depending on egg quality.

11 Viscon Group Welcomes you! Since 1927 our company has been involved in automation in the agro/horticultural sector, where we started out in the Flax industry, the soft wire mater al used to produce clothing. This company was established by the great grandfather of the current generation owners, Jan Visser. After the demise in the flax business, in 1967, the next Visser generation started to buy and sell equipment in the horticultural industry under the new company name Visser I.T.E.. As the horticulture industry rapidly grew and diversified, it created a demand for custom made machinery. The Visser family took this opportunity and started to develop and manufacture their own machinery and provide custom made automation projects. Years later, the experience and success in horticulture led to expansion in different Agro & Food related sectors, such as Fresh Produce, Poultry and Food logistics, which where named Viscon : deducted from Visser Construction. In the last two decades the family company grew from approximately 40 employees, to over 200 employees active in different sectors all over the world. As for today, several business units, each dedicated to a specific industry, form the Viscon Group. The Visser family DNA can be detected anywhere in the company: entrepreneurship, innovation, high technical standards and creativity have been the heartbeat of the organisation ever since they started designing and manufacturing themselves. Creating ideas, pouring enthusiasm, designing high end - high quality techniques and a worldwide focus is what the Viscon Group is all about. The company is now being run by Ton Visser, Els Visser, Cees Visser and CEO René de Vos. With Viscon Group we aim to create innovative solutions for the smart movement of products in Agro & Food. We invite you to become part of the Viscon Experience where we provide expertise, consultancy and in house produced equipment for your company. Company building Netherlands Company building Poland
