We will be able to give them well-informed technical assistance, supported by Aviagen’s worldwide experience of nutrition, flock management, veterinary health and poultry genetics. Claudio and Carla bring an unrivalled level of experience and enthusiasm to the business. This change will certainly enhance our service to customers.”
