NBC Exim Corporation recently held its first seminar which was entitled “Solutions to Mycotoxicosis and Stress in Poultry.” It was held last November 19 at the Park Inn by Radison, in Lanang, Davao City. The main speaker was Martin Enderink, Business Manager of Palital GmbH & Co Kg which is a Germany based company and a partner of NBC.
The seminar sought to address the problems brought about by Mycotoxicosis which are diseases caused by the effects of toxins produced by fungal molds. This disease is especially prevalent in tropical countries like the Philippines where the molds thrive in high temperature and humid environments. The disease has a high mortality rate and easily spreads among the flock.
Mr. Enderink emphasized in his talk the importance of using Vigoral Liquid and Intest-Plus as additives to the feeds to help in preventing the Mycotoxicosis and, as well as, reducing stress in the animals. This, he added, should be made a standard practice by poultry farmers. He also cited the value of improving the storage conditions of feeds, particularly in reducing moisture levels and keeping them free from insect infestation.
The seminar was attended by several of the top poultry raisers in Davao. It was well received by the attendees as they were very grateful to NBC for the enlightening discussions.
