CHALLENGES AS OPPORTUNITIES

Christoffer Ernst

As we come to a close of 2022, we are excited to present our annual issue of Poultry News, always a good opportunity for us to look back over the year.

For me personally, it was without question a special year, the first as Managing Director of LOHMANN BREEDERS, just as it was for my colleague Jörg Heier. Clearly of course, we have chosen a challenging time for our beginning. AI remains a big challenge in terms of securing deliveries, while ongoing socio-economic conditions continue to affect all of us to different degrees. I believe we will continue to face these challenges for some time, and that these will have a significant impact mark on not only our industry. What else happened and what our goals are for the coming year can be read in this issue of Poultry News.

Despite these challenges, LOHMANN BREEDERS had an eventful year. We returned to a year with numerous events in our newly designed auditorium, including the LOHMANN SCHOOL and the LOHMANN SCHOOL Cage Free, which took place again as a face-to-face event. The Technical Service team also made numerous visits to customers, which enabled us to feed our InfoLounge section with many articles about visits and events. Furthermore, there is always news on our website, such as new language versions and improvements in the individual areas. So a regular visit is worthwhile!

But Poultry News is not only meant to be a review of the past year. Of course, we also look ahead! Read about our investments, plans and what’s new in genetics. As a special bonus, there is a brand-new Toolbox article, exclusively for our loyal readership.

As you can see, we are ready for another successful year with you, our customers and partners. Maybe we will meet at our FDM in Hamburg or at VIV Asia in Bangkok in 2023? No matter how, where and when, we look forward to seeing you and hope to soon be able to pursue our motto again to its full extent with fewer obstacles “Breeding for Success – Together!”
