Sean Harrison shared his ‘secrets to broiler success,’ based on his experiences as an award-winning broiler farmer. Mike Czarick talked about ‘hot weather management and misting in the UK.’
 
Sean and Kieron also took the opportunity to present Ross 440 Club winners with their awards and to promote the new Ross 450 Club.  
 
Stuart Thomson, Head of Sales and Technical, reflected on the success of the event: “This was indeed our most impactful roadshow to date. We were delighted with the enthusiastic response from the UK broiler sector and enjoyed the lively discussions.

It is important for us to exchange knowledge and practical experience with all involved in broiler growing and bring renowned guest speakers like Mike to our audiences.”
