ANIMALPROFI Poultry Farming 2018 – Lay It!

The 22^nd ANIMALPROFI Poultry educational forum was held under the slogan «Lay it!». This year, the forum brought together over 150 participants aboard Fyodor Dostoyevsky four-deck motor ship. From May 31 to June 3, representatives of 50 poultry farms and industry experts from a total of 8 countries initiated a professional dialogue on improving efficiency in industrial poultry farming.

The program of the forum was designed for participants to listen to the educational material in the lecture format, and also to solve the problems of their farms with the help of international industrial experts.

Traditionally, on the first day of the forum, an excursion to the renewed the NITA-FARM production building took place. There, the Company's employees demonstrated the process of developing and producing medicines that every second Russian veterinarian uses.

»This time the excursion program included visiting Company's new production facilities, for example, a site for sampling and sub-sampling. Here, in seconds, the authenticity of the raw material is determined without opening the package with the help of a special device - brooker. By the way, you can test its precision in an absolutely clear way as the device determines the authenticity of precious stones. This year we will present a new microbiological laboratory. This is a unique building of 350 square meters for veterinary pharmaceutical use, which has no analogues in the industry and, of course, it is our special pride,» tells Maxim Helmut, the head of the NITA-FARM PR department.

Thanks to constantly analysing the market and identifying the needs of specialists and managers working in the largest Russian poultry farms, ANIMALPROFI offers really urgent topics to maintain professional dialogue,» says Natalia Oleinik, NITA-FARM Marketing Director.
