Zoetis has strengthened its poultry team in the UK and Ireland with the appointment of Kaska Talpa as poultry field services manager.
Joining the company with more than 10 years’ experience in the UK poultry industry, Ms Talpa (pictured above) was previously with Minster Veterinary Practice in York, where she developed and ran the Yorkshire Poultry Meat Producers’ discussion group. Prior to that, she worked with Deans Foods, as assistant farm manager on an organic egg layer unit in Northamptonshire, and Linden Barn, where she was responsible for managing 13,000 commercial layers and 6000 replacement pullets.
Her new role at Zoetis will include carrying out customer training programmes as well as developing long-term partnerships with customers, undertaking on-farm vaccination audits, assisting with gut health lesion scoring and taking samples from the field for diagnostic purposes.
