Aviagen® North America is committed to customer success, and regularly rewards results brought about by management expertise, hard work and a passion for birds. An example are the Flock Awards, which Aviagen hosts each year to recognize star breeder performance. The 2021 Flock awards saw breeder scores of 187.29 Total Eggs per Hen Housed (TE/HH), 180.21 Hatching Eggs per HH, 85.99% Hatchability, and 149.95 Chicks per HH (all to 65 weeks).
“We are proud of our Flock Award winners. They represent the best of the best
among North American breeder farmers. Due to their hard work, skill and passion for
their birds, they are a shining example to breeder growers throughout the continent.
These scores will also give our customers a benchmarking tool, providing
opportunity for future improvement,” commented Randall Vickery, Regional
Technical Manager for Aviagen North America.
Marc de Beer, President Aviagen North America, added, “our valued customers in
North America continue to impress, with their year-on-year breeder achievements.
On behalf of Aviagen North America, I congratulate this year’s Flock Award winners.
And look forward to helping them and customers throughout the region achieve
continued success.”
