A line-up of speakers gave presentations focusing on broiler, breeder and layer management. Topics discussed during the seminar included feeding, production, ventilation system and farm management methods.

Mr Bhagya, Sales Manager at BD Agriculture, Sri Lanka, said: “The main focus of this seminar is to educate customers on the different poultry equipment Big Dutchman has to offer, and its functional areas that distinguish us from the others. I believe we have achieved this. Feedback from the participants was excellent.”

Big Dutchman’s ventilation expert, Jens Koldehoff, stressed the importance of keeping a stable temperature in the poultry house, thus maximising the production, whereas Alfred Tan, Vice President of Sales Asia, provided knowledge on poultry farm management.
