A current and excellent program
In this new edition of the congress, new nutritional guidelines that will help us to achieve the best results in our livestock farms will be discussed. In the same way, different vital issues will be discussed to safeguard the immune system of our birds to prevent possible diseases in our farms.
Undoubtedly, poultry nutrition is in continuous change and it is very important to know the latest developments to improve the sustainability and welfare of our animals.
For this reason, no matter how many advances we visualize in the field of genetics, nutrition remains as a necessary pillar to coordinate all these efforts of genetic companies to reality.
