Aviagen North America honors top performing customers with Flock Awards

Aviagen customers in the United States have continued to impress with their stellar breeder performance, Aviagen announced on November 2.

The company recently recognised top achievers with the 2020 Flock Awards. The awards are given to Ross poultry producers who are able to optimise the genetic potential of their Ross breeders by applying excellence in animal husbandry combined with team work and dedication.

To be considered for a Flock Award, a farm complex must send in all records of depleted flocks for the previous year, with a minimum requirement of six flocks.

According to Aviagen North America president Marc de Beer, the goal for the Flock Award programme is twofold.

"To encourage growers throughout the region by showing them the breeder performance that is possible with Ross birds, and to provide customers with a helpful benchmarking tool," de Beer explained. "We are immensely proud of their accomplishments, and look forward to helping our customers achieve continued success."

"We congratulate these high achievers, who are a shining example to the entire industry of the breeder performance that is possible through hard work, commitment, attention to detail and a true passion for what they do," said Frank Dougherty, vice president of sales for Aviagen North America.

Randall Vickery, regional technical manager for Aviagen North Amerca, said: "We are thrilled to honor our 2020 Flock Award recipients, who represent the best of the best in the US market. Our dedicated service teams work hand-in-hand these high achievers, as well as our valued customers throughout North America, providing management advice and support to champion their success."
