“Cobb has been growing market share in Asia Pacific substantially over the last three to four years, and we are on target in 2017 to become the breed of choice in the region,” he said.
“On top of the new facilities we’ve built in China and our plan to produce grandparents in New Zealand, we are also growing our sales and technical team. Our goal is to have a strong, highly skilled team of professionals who are an integral part of the Cobb family supporting our customers. We’re also launching an advertising campaign that highlights the expansion of our team in Asia.
“On the product side, we are introducing the CobbMV male which is expected to gain at least two points of feed conversion improvement,” he added. “The CobbMV male has previously demonstrated great performance in all climates with outstanding fertility and has also improved broiler livability. We are going to do a full launch at VIV Asia 2017 and we’re really excited”.
