Hubbard announced the appointment of Gajanan Balaji Padmawar DVM as the new sales manager in India and Sri Lanka.

Padmawar has extensive experience in poultry having formerly held a number of senior positions within Venkateshwara Hatcheries Ltd. and most recently as general manager of Japfa Comfeed India Ltd.

As a sales manager, Padmawar will help Hubbard in the field of grand parent and parent sales in which he possesses a great deal of knowledge.

This appointment illustrates Hubbard's plans to further expand their sales of breeding stock in this fast growing region and as a result of continued gains in market shares both within Europe and Asia.
