Aviagen: Arbor Acres South Africa celebrate 140 and 400 Club members' success

 

Aviagen^® distributor, Arbor Acres^® South Africa, recently awarded a number of customers with Arbor Acres 140 and 400 Club awards.

The Arbor Acres 400 Club recognises producers who achieve a European Product Efficiency Factor (EPEF) of 400 or more with their broiler flocks. The Arbor Acres 140 Club membership is awarded to customers who achieve a breeder performance of 140 or more chicks per hen housed (chicks/hh) at 60 weeks.

Membership for both clubs requires excellent stockmanship in areas such as biosecurity, environmental management and nutrition.

The Arbor Acres 2021 Club awards related to the period of November 2020 to October 2021, and all producers who supplied data throughout this timeframe, which met the requirements for both clubs, automatically gained entry into the Clubs.

A total of 26 140 Club awards and 22 400 Club awards were given out.

Arno van der Nat, general manager of Arbor Acres South Africa, said: "It has been hugely rewarding seeing the exceptional results that Arbor Acres South Africa customers have achieved, especially with the challenges we have faced in the industry throughout 2021. I would like to thank our loyal customers for their continued support and look forward to continuing our success together, assisted by our dedicated and qualified customer support team."

"The Arbor Acres breed offers our customers' outstanding performance to ensure the brand continues to grow within the South African market. The Arbor Acres broiler and breeder are performing exceptionally well, and this is something we will continue to highlight through our 140 and 400 Clubs. It is important for us to recognise our customers who achieve top performance results with their breeder and broiler flocks."

"Congratulations to all customers who achieved both 140 and 400 Club awards, we look forward to working together in the future with Arbor Acres South Africa and their customers, to ensure we can continue to reach the genetic potential of the Arbor Acres breed," said Riaan Le Roux, Aviagen's technical service manager (Sub[1]Saharan Africa).
