Aviagen recently welcomed Agricultural Development Company (ADC) to the Ross® 140 Club, where we earned membership in the prestigious club for its outstanding achievement of 153 Ross 308 chicks to 62 weeks at its Odaizi Farm, representing the first Ross 140 Club member from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
As its name implies, the Ross 140 Club recognizes breeder performance of 140 chicks per hen housed. The Ross 140 Club and its counterpart on the broiler side, the Ross 400 Club, are intended to commend the outstanding stockman-ship and dedication needed to tip the scale on the performance of Ross broiler breeding stock.
We were honoured during such a special ceremony at VIV MEA, which took place February 5-7 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. ADC is a customer of the Ross distributor for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pure Breed Poultry Company. As an award winner, ADC joins a growing network of Ross 140 Club Members throughout the Turkey, Middle East and Africa region.
Pure Breed CEO, Moeen Alkhatib added, “I am very pleased that Aviagen and Pure Breed acknowledge this great achievement of Agricultural Development Company on Onaizi farm and I am delighted to have the opportunity to congratulate Mr Sajid, Mr Wail and Mr Hazem from ADC senior management at VIV MEA. ADC’s accomplishment is a great example and encouragement to our Ross Customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
“Congratulations to ADC for the excellent results with Ross 308 parent stock,” said Bulent Tanyildizi, Ross Sales Manager, MEA. “This impressive performance can be reached when the genetic performance of our birds is optimized through excellent management and hard work”.
