The Poultry Expertise Centre in Barneveld, NL, initiates, facilitates, coordinates training activities and research projects for the poultry sector world wide.

Day-old-chick quality and health can only be improved in healthy poultry chains, where the right information is exchanged between sectors and a valid economical model is introduced to reward upstream investments. In many countries, we develop innovative broiler farming concepts to improve broiler performance and health together with local and Dutch partners. Quite a challenge, but very rewarding!
