Frequently it's not possible for a specialist to acquire knowledge by attending special seminars and conference because of full-time job and means. However he faces with a huge number of questions: how to improve business efficiency? How to control animals and poultry health? Which innovation and developments are actual in Russia and abroad? How to feed for achievement good performance? It's difficult to find answers for these issues by oneself. That's why a modern specialist needs to get a professional advice.
On the pages of the magazine we will discuss actual questions, share with novelties in the field of zootechnics and veterinary science. Specialists from leading livestock and poultry enterprises will get the first “pilot” issue together with the magazine “Persona Grata.”

The specialists of the company attended ZAO “ Compound feeds and premixes factory” in March, 28-29. The goal of this meeting was independent consultancy on the mycotoxins detection in grains and feeds with the help of tests on the basis of immune-enzyme analysis.
