Aviagen recently welcomed 36 students from 18 countries to Edinburgh from 24 to 30 November. Together, they explored the latest in broiler management at the 2024 broiler module of the Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA) production management school.
Throughout the week, the students learnt about leading management innovations designed to enhance broiler welfare and efficiency.
The school is one way Aviagen works with customers to share tools and knowledge to help them improve their management, achieve better results.
Aviagen experts joined guest speakers from the poultry sector to share valuable knowledge on key topics, including broiler management and physiology, helping care for broilers based on their biology to improve performance, meat quality, health, and welfare. They also learnt about environmental management, covering housing, lighting, and ventilation and health, including gut health and nutrition.
Students participated in a hands-on biosecurity exercise, gaining practical experience in protecting both food safety and security.
Reflecting on the experience, Katerini Christoforou from Paradisiotis Ltd in Cyprus, Greece, shared: “I’m grateful to Aviagen and my company for giving me the chance to attend the School. It was truly a unique experience. I gained valuable knowledge and insights that will not only help improve outcomes for my company and the welfare of our birds but also support my growth in the industry.”
