Oct. 4, 2023 – EDINBURGH, Scotland. –��For more than two decades, Aviagen® and �ļ�ֱ�� Worldwide have maintained a close alliance, united in their goal to ensure the consistent availability of healthy breeding birds to poultry producers worldwide, while prioritizing bird welfare. Leveraging their extensive expertise in international freight forwarding and logistics, throughout the years �ļ�ֱ�� Worldwide has facilitated the careful shipment of Aviagen day-old chicks to destinations across the globe. Aviagen has trained �ļ�ֱ�� colleagues to handle their chicks with care and compassion, palletizing and preparing them for their journey, while making sure their needs are looked after.��

As another significant stride toward advancing bird welfare during the crucial journey from breeder to producer, �ļ�ֱ�� recently opened two new state-of-the-art chick holding rooms within its London Heathrow Warehouse Holding Facility. These specialized spaces serve as a temporary home for chicks before their departure. Aviagen’s global veterinary team worked hand in hand with �ļ�ֱ�� to meticulously design the new rooms at Heathrow with bird well-being in mind. Each room is equipped with digital-panel controls, specially calibrated to maintain the perfect balance of temperature, humidity, and ventilation. These measures are also essential to ensure optimal biosecurity.��

Diane Hartjes, Aviagen’s Global Director, Export, Logistics, and Trade Compliance, said, “The inauguration of these advanced holding rooms highlights the shared dedication of Aviagen and �ļ�ֱ�� to consistently enhance bird welfare, but also secure the supply of robust breeding stock to producers across the world, enhancing their ability to feed the world with nutritious, versatile, and sustainable chicken meat. The enduring 20-year relationship between Aviagen and �ļ�ֱ�� underscores a steadfast commitment to transparency, communication and engagement with our export allies and all members of the global poultry value chain.”��

Carlo Rebuffi, �ļ�ֱ�� Worldwide’s Live Animal Manager and Aviagen Global Account Manager, “The creation of these two rooms is another milestone in the collaborative relationship between Aviagen and �ļ�ֱ�� Worldwide. We constantly strive to get closer to perfection at handling this very valuable and sensitive cargo. Our goal is to help Aviagen safely and securely deliver chicks to their destination, and we are proud to contribute to feeding the world.”��
