“This has become a must-attend event for key stakeholders in hatcheries in the USA, Canada and Latin America,” said Ben Green, Hatchery Specialist, Cobb World Technical Support Team.

“This event is special because it gathers people from such a diverse region to discuss important topics and current issues in the hatchery, as well as ask questions to leading experts from across the industry. Technical support is something we at Cobb place great importance on and this conference allows us to support these hatchery managers with the knowledge and information they need and seek.”
