Aviagen Indian River hosts seminar in South Korea, strengthening collaboration and poultry management

The Aviagen^® Indian River^® team recently met with employees from its valued distributor, Sajo Won, at the Sajo office in Jeonju City, South Korea, on September 12 -13.

In the spirit of "Breeding Success Together," Aviagen organised a tailored seminar to provide the latest practical advice on breeder and broiler management, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Sajo Won.

Prior to the seminar, the Aviagen team visited Sajo Won's grandparent (GP) and broiler farms to offer support and assess field conditions, helping to shape the seminar to address real-time challenges.

The Aviagen team, including brand manager for Indian River Dr. Daniel Gomes, technical services manager Michael Chau,  regional technical veterinarian Dr. Jorge Villa, ventilation technical service manager Bernard Green, and technical services manager Dr. Kim Byoungyoon, led a comprehensive two-day agenda. Their goal was to provide insights that would help Sajo Won reduce costs, boost efficiencies, and enhance the productivity, health, and welfare of their GP and broiler chickens.

On the first day, the focus was on maximising the performance of Indian River breeders, with 16 attendees participating in lively discussions. The second day shifted to broiler management strategies, with 21 participants joining the conversation. Both sessions fostered a collaborative, interactive environment for sharing ideas.

Do-Wook Go, Sajo Won advisor, said: "The seminar provided valuable insights to improve the performance and management of our farms. We look forward to continuing our strong cooperation with Aviagen and benefiting from future knowledge exchanges. This event also helped to elevate the Indian River brand in Korea, and we thank Aviagen for their efforts."

"Aviagen values our distributors in South Korea and throughout the region, seeing them as a vital extension of our team," said Dominic Elfick, marketing manager at Aviagen Asia Pacific. "The seminar with Sajo was an excellent opportunity to share the latest management practices that can benefit their operations, while also learning about their unique challenges. We look forward to our continued collaboration with this valued distributor."
