The ideal Combination for a Production Manager seminar



“The production manager seminar was an engaging combination of sport activities and technical lectures”, recaps Niels Fischer of LOHMANN TIERZUCHT’s sales and Technical services europe. After the last production manager seminar in 2011 in Potsdam, 50 participants from 11 european countries accepted the invitation of LOHMANN TIERZUCHT to come to the Ötztaler Alps this year.


on the day of arrival the weather put on its best face and the guests were pleased about the impressive mountain backdrop. All participants were welcomed by Prof. Preisinger in the late afternoon. He presented the programme for the following two days – a combination of sport activities and technical speeches. After dinner, the evening ended in a relaxed atmosphere.

Monday morning’s motto was: enjoy your time on the slopes! “On this occasion the home advantage of our friends from the Alpine region clearly applied”, Fischer recalls. “However, some ‘lowlanders’ also cut a good figure. some colleagues were on skis for the first, but not for the last time.”

In ovo sex determination

In the afternoon Prof. Preisinger presented the current status of ‘in ovo’ sex determination and its practical application. Although different procedures are at an experimental stage, it will take some time until it is ready for practical use. In any case the costs for day-old chicks will increase significantly. A seamless transition was made to the subject of chick weight and future performance. The result:



chick weight does not influence future performance of the layer hen. subsequently, Tobias Baumgarten presented the new chick store of LOHMANN TIERZUCHT where, due to optimum climate conditions, day-old chicks could be put into in case of necessity.

Hatchery disinfection

Tobias Baumgarten initiated the afternoon programme with his speech about the new performance standards for layers. Afterwards, Robert schulte-Drüggelte presented different procedures for egg disinfection and emphasized in particular the necessity of disinfection. The last item on the agenda was the speech about veterinary issues, presented by Matthias Voss. The programme ended with an interesting discussion and in the evening all participants finally came together for the gala dinner. After two days in the mountains with sport, interesting speeches and enough time to exchange experiences and thoughts, the participants made their way home on wednesday morning.
