Edinburgh. – On 25 June, Aviagen^® signed an agreement with Osool Poultry, our Ross Parent Stock (PS) customer in Oman, which enables them to be the exclusive Grandparent (GP) distributor of Ross PS throughout the country.

Osool Poultry was established in 2016 with the aim of producing 150 million hatching eggs annually to meet the needs within Oman and neighboring countries. Osool currently import day-old PS chicks from Aviagen to allow the company to sustain its annual broiler hatching egg production capacity.

This collaboration is of great importance to the local market as it addresses logistical challenges and costs, and also mitigates health risks associated with poultry imports. Local production will enhance poultry self-sufficiency in Oman, and safeguard against potential disease transmission.

Bulent Tanyildizi, Aviagen MENA Business Manager, signed the agreement alongside Dr. Hadi Mohsen Al Lawati, CEO, Osool Poultry, and assisted in formulating a plan to integrate Aviagen’s customer support expertise. Aviagen will provide comprehensive support in setting up the project, which will focus on producing hatching eggs and high-quality chicks.

Dr. Hadi expressed the importance of this project for both Osool and Oman; “This collaboration with Aviagen is a significant milestone for the agricultural industry in Oman. With the help of Aviagen’s global expertise, we are strengthening our local production capacity, and also meeting the increasing demand for day-old chicks and hatching eggs within the local market.”
