Aviagen celebrates “together for poultry farming without borders” with sector colleagues throughout Latin America

CAMPINAS, Brazil – The Aviagen^® Peru team was pleased to join poultry professionals from across the region at the 2025 AVEM Poultry Congress, held Nov. 12–14 in Lima, Peru. The event served as a hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration among the industry’s leading voices – all united under the theme “Together for poultry farming without borders.”

Throughout the three-day event, Aviagen welcomed customers and colleagues to its booth to discuss shared challenges, the advantages of the Ross^® 308 AP breed for Latin American producers, and how working together can drive innovation and progress for the future of poultry farming.

Sharing knowledge to shape the future

As part of the general program, Aviagen’s João Heron Ribeiro, technical services supervisor for Aviagen SAEB (South America excluding Brazil), presented “A multifactorial approach to achieving optimal results in broiler breeders.” “Aviagen takes a balanced, holistic approach to optimizing bird health, welfare, quality, and performance,” said Heron. “We consider multiple management aspects – from feed and nutrition to environment and health care – because success depends on the careful alignment of all these factors.”

Luciano Costa Keske, Technical Consultant for Aviagen, also contributed with a presentation on “Factors that affect female uniformity.” “Female uniformity is a key indicator of sound management and a foundation for strong reproductive results,” explained Keske. “When females grow evenly, they respond consistently to feed, lighting, and mating programs, which leads to higher productivity, better welfare, and improved egg quality.”

Strengthening the poultry sector in Peru and beyond

For Aviagen, AVEM was more than an opportunity to share knowledge – it was a moment to reaffirm its commitment to the long-term growth of the Peruvian and Latin American poultry industries.

“Peru continues to be a strategic and growing market for Aviagen,” said Cesar Muro, General Manager of Aviagen Peru. “We value every opportunity to connect with our customers and industry allies, to learn from one another, and to breed success together – advancing innovation, welfare, and sustainability to help secure a reliable, nutritious source of protein for generations to come.”
