Livestock and Poultry formation days in Barcelona
Last 23 and 24 of September we held the seminar “LIVISTO Solutions for Livestock and Poultry”. We received visitors from many countries -Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, and Russia- who travelled to Barcelona in order to attend the training sessions.
Monday’s subject was cattle farming. Our teams from Barcelona and Russia shared their experience in different fields regarding cattle farming such as reproduction programs, antiparasitic protection, or mastitis prevention and treatment.
After lunch, we took a tour around the farm in order to learn the particularities of cattle farming in Spain compared to their countries. The farm we visited is certified for Animal Welfare thanks to the good conditions the animals are in. They even play relaxing music to the dry cows so that they are calm and spend more time resting before parturition. It is always interesting for the farmers and veterinarians from other countries to be able to visit farms in different areas in order to compare the different systems and equipments they have.
On Tuesday, the topics were pig production and poultry production. During the day we reviewed the most relevant topics in both species and gave a range of solutions to the main pathologies affecting these animals.
This kind of events help us to weave stronger links with our customers and also allow us to learn from their needs in their daily practice so that we can bring them new solutions in the future.
