Aviagen, PPR Broiler celebrate decade of successful cooperation

On June 12 and 13, Aviagen and its Ross^® grandparent customer, PPR Broiler, hosted a seminar in the Republic of Belarus and took the opportunity to also recognise excellence in broiler and breeder flock performance.

The event had special significance, as it marked 10 years of PPR Broiler (OAO Agrocombinat Dzerzhinsky) supplying Ross parent stock to the local market. 80 guests from Belarusian Ross parent farms and broiler integrators attended.

To make information most useful to customers, customer input was gathered throughout the year. Topics were then chosen based on specific flock management, production, feeding and veterinary issues submitted by attendees. 

This year’s subjects centered on getting the most from Ross breeders and broilers, as Aviagen experts delivered key veterinary, nutrition and management advice. Following the sessions, the audience engaged in question-and-answer sessions that stimulated interesting discussions.

The Belarus seminar also provided an occasion to award production performance from the previous year.

"We are very happy with this year’s seminar results and would like to extend our congratulations to all customers who received Best Flock awards," said Yuri Fesin, director of PPR Broiler. "These accomplishments demonstrate the continuous success of Ross birds in the Republic of Belarus. Ross performance in Belarus benchmarks very favorably against the performance of European poultry producers at large."

“[The award winners'] successes demonstrate the high potential of Ross birds in Belarus which is maximised through the top professional qualities of local poultry producers,” said Marcel Janssen, Aviagen's regional technical manager of Eastern Europe.
