Hungary hosting Aviagen’s successful Central European seminar
Aviagen Kft, Aviagen’s Hungarian business unit, recently held their 5th seminar for Central European (CE) Parent Stock customers. Attended by over 220 guests from 17 countries, the successful three-day event consisted of a mixture of regional country updates, practical management advice and topical presentations.
Country reviews of the CE region, including Hungary, Serbia & Bosnia, Romania, Czech & Slovakia, Bulgaria and Slovenia & Croatia, given by Aviagen’s local representatives, highlighted the continued increase in demand for Ross products in the region.
Barrie Fleming, Regional Consultant Veterinarian, updated the audience on future developments in use of antibiotics and probiotics. Nutritionist Leonardo Linares’ presentation was well-received by the audience as it covered the topical subject of ‘High Feed Costs: Alternatives’. Leonardo evaluated possible ways to decrease costs by using alternative raw materials to combat the challenging rise in feed costs.
Santiago Avendano, Director of Global Genetics, gave an insight into the breeding programme for the next five years, focusing on selection strategies for future success. Timea Torma, QA Manager, illustrated practical tools to maximise hatchability and chick quality, which included a lot of advice available in Aviagen’s series of “How To documents”.
