Aviagen India organised a two-day technical workshop on Ventilation Management in Closed Broiler Houses on October 6–7, 2026, at Pride Amber Vilas Resort, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The programme brought together poultry industry professionals for technical learning, knowledge exchange and discussions on effective ventilation strategies for modern broiler production.
The workshop commenced with a welcome address by Dr. Ramakrishna, Business Manager, Aviagen India, who welcomed the speakers and participants and highlighted the importance of technical education and effective environmental management in addressing the evolving challenges of broiler production.
The technical programme featured sessions by Andrew Bourne, Bernard Green, Mike Block and Dr. Sivakumar, bringing together specialist knowledge and practical experience in ventilation management and closed-house operations. The sessions covered key areas including ventilation principles, brooding management, environmental control, water quality and biosecurity. Discussions focused on understanding ventilation systems, managing housing conditions and applying appropriate management practices to address practical on-farm challenges.
With changing climatic conditions and the growing adoption of closed-house systems, effective ventilation management is increasingly important for maintaining suitable housing environments and supporting bird health and welfare. The technical sessions provided participants with practical insights into environmental management and the application of ventilation principles under India’s diverse climatic and production conditions.
An interactive quiz added an engaging dimension to the workshop, encouraging participants to revisit key technical concepts, test their understanding and actively participate in the learning process. The quiz also promoted healthy competition, reinforced important management principles and encouraged greater interaction between participants and technical experts.
The programme provided a valuable platform for poultry professionals to exchange field experiences, discuss operational challenges and learn from technical specialists. The combination of expert-led presentations, interactive learning and open discussions helped reinforce the importance of informed decision-making and consistent on-farm management.
The workshop reflects Aviagen India’s continued commitment to technical education and knowledge sharing across the poultry industry. By facilitating access to relevant expertise and practical management insights, Aviagen aims to support poultry professionals in responding to the evolving needs of modern broiler production.
