Practical info
The Hatchery Management Training is designed for hatchery managers and their assistants who already have experience with incubators and the hatchery workflow and want to optimize their hatchery’s results.
During this intensive three-day training programme at the Petersime Customer Centre or a Regional Centre, technical and incubational experts at Petersime and partnering institutions spend ample attention on topics such as advanced incubation, egg management and more, as well as share their practical advice on how to significantly improve biosecurity and animal welfare in the hatchery. In this training, you will also learn how to conduct comparative trials that include advanced hatch breakout sessions, and how to correctly analyze and interpret the results.
