It is promoted by ITESO and dedicated to poultry professionals who are currently working in the market and have extensive experience in the area”, highlights Melina.

“It was rewarding to be part of this meeting. More than 150 professionals attended the event and ICC could share topics that are current and relevant to the poultry production chain. The activities in a class format allowed us to have an in-depth understanding of the discussed topics and also generated positive interactions among the attendees. The immunonutrition class raised the greatest interest since this is a broad topic which includes various areas of knowledge and virtually all factors affecting the health and performance of the birds. And it is precisely for addressing this concept that ICC has been standing out as a reference”, adds the speaker.
