(Primer Seminario Internacional del Huevo)

On 22 and 23 August 2019, the “First International Seminar of the Egg” took place in Santa Cruz de La Sierra (Bolivia). It was a successful event organised by Amevea* Bolivia with the help of some other companies and individuals active in the country’s egg market. Mr Fernando Gonzalez and Dr. Sergio Gonzalez from Granja Linda, our distributor of LOHMANN Brown in Bolivia, were also responsible for helping to organise this successful seminar.

Participants

Almost 200 people attended the seminar, with approximately 55 participants from Cochabamba. The participants comprised representatives from various egg-producing companies, supply companies from Bolivia and other countries, consultants and university students. Speakers from seven different nationalities gave presentations. The seminar was an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge and experiences and gain more information on the different opportunities for the egg market in the near future.

Range of topics

The seminar covered a range of different topics such as management of layers, lighting programmes, hygiene and biosecurity, nutrition, egg quality, the market in general (Bolivia and worldwide), how to develop the consumption of eggs nationally and the development of the company brand in the market, as well as genetics development in the coming years and other important topics.

Technical Service everywhere

Braulio Ruiz and Matheus Alves were invited to participate in the event. Their presentations were on “Lighting programme update for commercial layers” (Braulio Ruiz) and “Nutritional factors that affect the internal and external quality of the egg” (Matheus Alves).

It was a very good opportunity for Granja Linda and LOHMANN TIERZUCHT to exchange ideas with participants, and meet existing and potential customers from Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
