During July 13-15, Aviagen® Asia-Pacific hosted a “Brooding Masterclass” webinar as an exclusive, value-added service for its customers. The online meeting featured management practices that result in a great chick start – from hatch through seven days of age. Led by the regional Aviagen customer service team and a panel of international experts, the three webinar sessions offered vital management advice on house preparation, environmental conditions at the hatchery during transport and in house, lighting, gut health, nutrition and other strategies to optimize bird health, welfare and performance in the first seven days of life. Customers were awarded with certificates for completion of the sessions.
Based on positive feedback from customers who attended the company’s April webinar on the impacts of Covid-19 on the Asian poultry industry, the Aviagen Asia-Pacific team sees the webinars as one of a number of opportunities to stay connected to their clients. “During these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to stay in close contact with our customers. Through the customer-focused webinars, we continue to show our commitment to sharing the latest knowledge to promote their success,” remarked Rafael Monleon, Business Manager for Aviagen Asia Pacific.
