Over three days, the participants heard talks on the critical topics of the industry. The hosts outlined a coherent vision and market approach: from Jan Wesjohann’s opening on EW Group’s long-term vision and EW Nutrition’s role in the holding company, to CEO Jan Vanbrabant, Marie Gallissot, and Madalina Diaconu’s presentations on the market challenges that EW Nutrition is solving.
Guest speakers included distinguished leading practitioners and key opinion leaders. Day 1 of the conference brought to the stage Prof. Dr. Saadia Nassik from Rabat University on the role of practical mitigation tools for antimicrobial resistance, Marcin Wolak on applied biosecurity best practices, Al Ajban/Al Ain’s Dr Mohammad Ezzat on preventive tools for poultry health, Jaroslaw Wilczinski on enteropathies in poultry production, Rani Ahmad from our sister company Hygiena on food safety hazards and solutions.
Day 2 started with Aviagen’s Murat Yakar with a clear overview of best practices in poultry production and a challenging perspective from Rainbow Chicken’s Brett Roosendaal on nutritional issues and solutions. Lohmann’s Jurek Grapentin then outlined trends in layer genetics, and Prof. Dr. Necmettin Ceylan, from Ankara University, presented holistic strategies to alleviate heat stress.
Both days ended with panel discussions where all speakers answered questions from the audience, moderated by EW Nutrition’s regional directors and event hosts, Radek Nigrin and Jedrzej Standar. On day 3, the discussions continued in more informal settings, allowing participants to network and collect more information while enjoying the impressive local history and natural offerings.
The conference showcased the industry’s potential for growth, both in geographical expansion, in genetic performance, and in better solutions allowing for safe, sustainable, affordable animal protein.
