Dr. Nabil Darwish, the chairman of the Egyptian Poultry Producers Association, delivered the following speech to USSEC Regional Director – Europe Middle East North Africa (EU/MENA) and USSEC Regional Consultant – MENA Mousa Wakileh.
“Greetings, the Egyptian Poultry Producers Association is pleased to welcome you in Egypt Al Kenana Land, aiming to more cooperation between the American side and the Egyptian Poultry Producers Association; that would lead to achieve mutual benefits to poultry producers and companies working in the poultry field in Egypt as well as the American side regarding soy uses.
Such cooperation, which lasted for the past years that was represented in:
We want this cooperation to help with:
We hope that the fruitful cooperation between us continue in order to improve the industry, which would provide benefits for both Egyptian and American side.
USSEC has held many conferences; seminars, meetings and workshops specialized in poultry (nutrition and diseases) under the patronage and supervision of worldwide master poultry leaders and experts, like Dr. Mian Riaz, Dr. Craig Coon and Dr. Gary Butcher.
Many leading poultry producers in Egypt were invited to attend such important meetings to improve the poultry industry in Egypt and to be acquainted with where science has reached regarding it.
Invitations to attend Atlanta International Production and processing Expo in the state of Atlanta since 2015; inviting 3 from the staff where this number has increased to 10 in 2016 and to 9 in 2017.
The main and most important activity in my point of view that that organization has done to support and improve the poultry industry in Egypt is organizing training courses in the biggest universities of the United States for youth veterinarians and feed producers to be acquainted with what the world achieved in the poultry production field.
Allow me to mention this important point in detail.
USSEC has organized a training program for veterinarians since the beginning of our fruitful cooperation in 2015; 5 veterinarians were invited to attend the first veterinarian training course at the University of Florida… trainees’ number has increased to 9 in 2016 and 11 in 2017.
Regarding feed, the organization [USSEC] has also conducted a training course for feed engineers at the Kansas State University since 2016 by inviting 11 agricultural engineers, and unfortunately this number has decreased this year to only 6 due to the difficult American visa procedures since the beginning of this year.
Thank you."
