Hatchery Registration Certificate Fees / Charges, Kenya
A Hatchery Registration Certificate is required by any person or entity that intends to operate a poultry hatchery in Kenya. Hatcheries are regulated by the County Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS), and registration involves a multi-step process beginning with site approval from the county government, followed by architectural plan approval, public health clearance, and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) licence from NEMA. Once all pre-construction approvals are in place, the DVS grants authority to construct the hatchery and conducts a series of inspections to ensure that construction complies with agreed guidelines. Upon satisfactory completion, the registration certificate is issued.
