He will cover the area 'north of the rivers' with regional technical services manager Paul Welten covering the southern Netherlands and Belgium.

Mr Gruyters, who is 29, has been working for specialist animal feed manufacturer Provimi for the past seven years involved with both sales and technical support in a number of European and Middle East countries.

Previously he studied for five years at Wageningen Agricultural University specialising in animal husbandry, and also gained practical experience working on broiler and layer farms.

Business manager for Holland and Belgium Wout van Wolfswinkel says Mr Gruyters joins Cobb at a time when the breed is moving ahead in the Benelux market.

"The broiler industry in the Benelux countries is increasingly recognising the Cobb 500 's ability to lower production costs and improve uniformity," says Mr van Wolfswinkel. "Martijn's nutritional expertise will be a particular asset to us and to our customers in helping them take full advantage of the breed's potential."
