Growing Global Relevance of Cage-Free Systems
The importance of cage-free poultry farming continues to rise—not only in Germany and Europe but increasingly on a global scale. This growing relevance was clearly reflected in the diverse participant structure of this year’s
LOHMANN SCHOOL CAGE-FREE, where we were proud to welcome numerous guests from across Asia. Their presence enriched the event and underscored the international momentum behind cage-free production systems.
Bridging Experience Levels Through Tailored Programming
Designing a program that catered to both newcomers and seasoned professionals in cage-free systems was a unique challenge for our Technical Service Team. The result was a thoughtfully curated week-long agenda that ensured
every participant—regardless of experience—gained valuable, applicable knowledge.
The curriculum focused on four core pillars: Animal Health, Flock Management, Nutrition, and Genetics.
Within each area, specific topics were explored in depth, fostering a dynamic exchange of knowledge and experience.
The interactive format—featuring discussions, Q&A sessions, and hands-on workshops—encouraged active participation and made the learning experience both engaging and impactful.
Learning Through Interaction, Not Just Listening
True to our philosophy, the LOHMANN SCHOOL emphasized
interactivity over passive listening. Participants were not just attendees—they were contributors. Lively discussions, collaborative workshops, and real-world case studies created an environment where learning was mutual and multidirectional.
To set the tone, the week began with a light-hearted quiz that brought smiles and sparked curiosity. And how about you—would you have known the answers?
A field trip with a feathered focus
On Thursday, the group took a scenic excursion to
Helgoland, a small German archipelago in the North Sea known for its dramatic red cliffs, rich maritime history, and unique wildlife. The island is especially famous for its seabird colonies, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.
Guided by a colleague from LDG, participants explored the island’s birdlife and learned about the local avian culture. It was a perfect blend of education and enjoyment in a truly special setting.
A Certificate That Carries Weight
At the close of the week, participants received
certificates of attendance—a now highly regarded credential that adds significant value to any professional resume.
These certificates symbolize not only participation but also a commitment to continuous learning and excellence in poultry management.
A Memorable Conclusion to a Meaningful Week
The 2025 edition of LOHMANN SCHOOL CAGE-FREE was more than just a training—it was
a global forum for knowledge exchange, professional growth, and community building.
With expert-led sessions, international perspectives, and a shared passion for innovation in cage-free systems, the event left a lasting impression on all who attended.
