Excellent after-sales service at LOHMANN TIERZUCHT
Keeping its philosophy of continuous after-sales service for customers,
LOHMANN TIERZUCHT’s sales and technical service team has
reinforced its presence in Peru with frequent visits and information
sharing. In 2016 they visited Peruvian customers a massive 11 times!
Our local Latin America personnel are constantly on hand to
support local customers.
But our service does not stop there: our
technical service people from Germany are also always prepared
to share knowledge and experience in the various technical service
fields in order to solve problems and maintain our birds’ high
performance standards.
Broad presence in Peru
With our broad presence in Peru, LOHMANN birds are raised under
all the different climatic conditions in this country, from the
Amazon region to the desert. And not forgetting the different caging
structures resulting from this diversity. In 2016, LOHMANN
technicians made visits to 11 commercial flocks.
Every shipment
and placement of our birds is followed by a member of our sales
and technical service team in order to ensure parentstock chicks
are properly looked after in order to meet the demands of the
permanently growing Peruvian market.
Full range of technical knowledge
LOHMANN after-sales service includes ongoing visits by our technical
service staff in different sectors, such as geneticists, veterinarians
and nutritionists. Robert Pottgueter, our nutrition expert, visited
some customers and gave presentations with a special focus
on prelay feed.
As he states, “Prelay feed is an excellent nutritional
tool to support layers during the transition period from the pullet
phase to the start of egg production and should be used for
roughly 10 days before the first eggs show up in the flock, which
means a maximum of 1 kg of feed per pullet – 800 g might even
be the better solution.”
The visits usually comprise technical updates
and management of parentstock flocks, followed by field visits
to commercial flocks across the country, from the rainy climate
regions in the north right down to the desert in South Peru.
We are extremely happy to see LOHMANN becoming stronger
than ever in this significant market for us.
