In May, a team of Cherry Valley Staff hit the road and travelled to Hungary to complete a technical workshop for our Parent Stock (PS) Customers.
Cherry Valley prides itself on the technical support it gives customers, and a technical roadshow is just an example of how our team can provide ongoing support.
Bing Yan, Managing Director of Cherry Valley Farms (UK) Ltd; Norbert Winkler, Managing Director of Cherry Valley Farms GmbH; Anne Rae, Head of Genetics, Research and Development; and Malcolm Stimpson, Consultant, met with Otto Baling, a CVF Sales Agent for Hungarian customers.
Each member of the CVF team completed a presentation on a given technical topic, in aims to help provide information on the duck rearing and producing process to improve efficiency and maximise production.
Some topics included were:
Genomics - How the work the CVF genetic teams are helping to improve commercial gains seen in the slaughterhouse, whilst retaining excellent production performance at PS level.
Parent Stock rearing and point of lay management - How rearing of PS can affect the production capabilities later in life, including how feed plays a pivotal role in maximising performance from the CVF bird.
Parent stock production and in-lay management - Managing birds in lay, feeding, and egg handling protocols.
Best Hatchery practice - Source flock nutrition, egg cleanliness and grading, hatchery cleanliness and disinfection, setting programs and breakout analysis.
Each session was followed by a Q&A, where PS farm managers could ask any questions about their operation.
