About this update from Simulated Environment Concepts, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\n Angola, IN, July 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Simulated Environment Concepts, Inc. (SMEV) subsidiary Nitro Holdings LLC continued to expand on its almost 90-acre multi-use farm with the formation of Cravin Poultry LLC. The new venture will raise and sell Cornish Cross Chickens which are a hybrid chicken derived from Cornish chickens and White Rock chickens. They grow faster than many other breeds of chickens and are ideal to be used for broiler chickens due to their size. Our chickens will be pasture raised, feeding on grains and grasses only. We will not use steroids, antibiotics, or other medications on our poultry.

These field raised chickens will be healthier and better tasting than chickens that can be produced in your typical commercial chicken house. These fast-growing chickens go from chick to full grown (5 – 7 pounds) in just 6 to 9 weeks, which will allow us to turn over inventory quickly.We have already begun work on our facilities to be used to process the chickens and a processing permit inspection will be scheduled in the next couple of weeks. Our initial application for license will be to have 20,000 chickens on the farm being raised. Our other venture, Cravin Crawfish, LLC has already sent well over a ton of crawfish to market since being formed just weeks ago. Feedback from our customers has been outstanding, calling our crawfish some of the best in the area. We look forward next season to growing from 2 ponds of crawfish to 8, as we’ve saved the majority and restocked them in the 6 additional new ponds. In preparation for next year’s harvest, we have begun planting sorghum in some of our other ponds to feed our 2023 crawfish. In preparation for 2023, we are going to construct a holding tank system made up of multiple tanks to allow us to store and process more crawfish even more efficiently. We will also build better crawfish traps that will allow us to harvest the crawfish from the ponds at a higher rate. While we have lined up our first wholesale buyer, we will continue to contact other retailers to establish a wider wholesale market for our crawfish. We are also looking into lining u...
