The event, held in Amman, Jordan, was attended by over 70 delegates, representing leading parent stock companies throughout Iraq. The delegates enjoyed a two-day seminar covering a wide range of topics, including the importance of biosecurity, critical age management in rearing, photo stimulation, male management, egg handling and nutrition. These presentations provided practical advice and demonstrated the performance potential of the Ross 308.

Dr Salah Bakir, Chairman & CEO of Vano, said: "We are delighted to work with Aviagen in distributing the Ross 308 product to our customers all over Iraq. The seminar offered us the opportunity to share important management advice and experience from other markets which highlights the competitive strength of the Ross 308.
