For example,\u00a0we typically try to train our poultry growers and our poultry technicians on the farm with birds.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nTypically, what we try to do is find it best to do these types of training in seminars in the field<\/strong>,\u00a0in operating poultry houses\u00a0<\/strong>at their poultry company or the poultry growers\u2019 actual facilities. That is a big challenge these days, especially with birds. <\/strong>Ventilation systems, heating systems, and electrical plumbing systems.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nAll this to be able to see the actual equipment, how to measure the performance of that equipment, and how to adjust without birds on the farm too. So\u00a0they are comfortable without damaging the birds and without exposing them to anything.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
We host international programs<\/strong>, but we will also do that for company-specific training so that companies do not have to worry about competing company representatives or anything like that. So, we typically do it. However,\u00a0if anybody wants it, we find the farm training works the best, whether on the company farms or in our demonstration facility.<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
