The Universal disinfectant brand was invited to send a keynote speaker to the IX International Scientific Conference 'Poultry 2013' in Ukraine; and also to present at a poultry symposium in Poland sponsored by Lab-Vet, a leading veterinary practice in Poland and also distributor of Halamid® and other para-veterinary products.

In Poland, the conference was well attended and covered issues such as disinfection protocols, comparisons of disinfectants, and veterinary diagnostic equipment.

Sarah Koehler, Sales Manager for Eastern Europe, spoke at both events and was pleased with the response.

She said: “It’s rewarding to educate the market about important issues in the poultry industry, and engage with questions from farmers and vets. We also had some interesting new information to share about the activity of Halamid in different conditions.”

Ukraine in particular is an important target market for Halamid, which received its national biocidal registration in January 2014.

Dimitriy Sulima, Managing Director of Halamid® distributor Univet, helped to coordinate the input to the conference and remarked: “Now we have the approval and have begun to inform the market, I am very confident about the future prospects for Halamid in Ukraine.”
