Recently, Aviagen KFT and Slovenian customer Pivka held a special meeting to welcome Pivka’s broiler growers to the Ross^® 420 Club. This elite club is reserved for top-performing producers who reach a European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF) score of 420 or greater. Karl Plut took the top award with an impressive score of 468 EPEF.

The event was attended by the managing board, production managers, and broiler growers from Pivka, along with Aviagen KFT team members -- Barbara Boka, Marketing Assistant; Dejan Bosanac, Regional Technical Manager; and Krisztina Nemeth, Sales Manager.
