Nile SPF’s Role in the Development of SPF Production

Nile SPF was established during the early expansion of Specific Pathogen-Free egg production worldwide. At that time, only a small number of specialized SPF producers existed globally, including SPAFAS in the United States and Lohmann Breeders Vaccine in Germany.

Through international scientific collaboration involving Lohmann Breeders and Egyptian authorities, Egypt established an early dedicated SPF production facility serving vaccine production, scientific research, and controlled biological applications.
