2018 – LPC Eggs Temora was developed with first eggs produced in 2019.

LPC Eggs Temora brings with it a new rearing site with boasting two new innovatively designed houses that accommodates 68,000 chicks. This new housing system allows birds to exhibit their natural behaviour while also maintaining a level of functionality that is both efficient and sustainable. At 16 weeks of age, the chicks are transferred to a state-of-the-art production site featuring 7 production houses accommodating a total of 240,000 hens. The housing system is specifically designed to compliment that of the rearing site. Each house has its own dedicated access to an expansive range area equipped with shade sails, trees, and shrubs.

There are plans for future development of LPC Eggs Temora which includes the construction of a second 7-shed free-range aviary production site in the Riverina. The development of this additional site will also require an expansion of an additional 2 sheds to the current rearing facility. When in full production, LPC Eggs Temora will produce approximately 9 million dozen first-grade eggs annually for the Australian market.
