Lohmann Tierzucht — GGP Breeding Center (Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony)
Lohmann Tierzucht's primary great-grandparent (GGP) flock and breeding center in Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony, Germany — the founding location of Lohmann layer genetics (established 1959). This facility maintains GGP flocks for Lohmann Brown-Classic and LSL-Classic breeds and serves as the primary genetic bank for European layer production. Cuxhaven is also the location of Lohmann Animal Health GmbH (a separate EW Group company producing poultry vaccines) — meaning the same campus hosts both layer GGP genetics and poultry vaccine production. Germany's Lower Saxony is the densest poultry production region in Europe; HPAI outbreaks in Lower Saxony have occurred repeatedly (2016-2017, 2020-2021, 2022 HPAI H5N1 wave). Lohmann's Cuxhaven facility has maintained GGP status through multiple regional HPAI waves due to strict biosecurity.
