Guests came from across Central Russia and the Urals to hear presentations on biosecurity, managing the Ross breeder and also broiler management. As well as a chance to discuss optimum performance of the Ross birds it was also a great opportunity for the new customers to meet each other and the wider team at Aviagen LLC.

Eduard Taktarov, Sales Director, said: “We’ve had a lot of success in Russia following our extensive investment in facilities such as our state of the art hatchery at Yasnogorsk.

“This combined with the exceptional performance of our birds and the excellent support from the technical services team both locally and when needed from the global staff has meant that Aviagen is the supplier of choice for poultry breeders in Russia.

“A key topic of discussion has been broiler management and feed conversion. The Ross broiler is very strong in this area and our seminar was designed to show customers how to get the best performance and keep the birds safe by adhering to our strong biosecurity standards.”

In addition to the presentations, customer received the latest support literature in Russian.

A particular highlight was the interactive biosecurity quiz given by Pavel Shkarlat, Veterinarian. Multiple choice questions were given and the winner received a prize.
