Novogen provides hatchery expertise to skab elevage

Last April, Zaccharie Delcourt, hatchery specialist at Novogen, had the pleasure of visiting SKAB, the distributor of NOVOGEN genetics in Cameroon. The purpose of the visit was to provide technical expertise to the hatchery located in Bafoussam, in the Western region.

Zaccharie Delcourt traveled to Cameroon to support SKAB’s efforts in improving hatchery performance. After visiting one of the two breeder farms, the focus shifted to hatchery management—from egg reception to chick storage prior to shipment. A thorough analysis of hatchery operations was carried out. Areas for improvement were identified, and a detailed action plan was discussed and validated collaboratively to optimize technical results.
Training sessions for the hatchery team were conducted based on a schedule and topics selected by SKAB.

We thank SKAB Élevage for all their efforts in delivering high-quality chicks to the Cameroonian market and wish them continued success in the future.

Aghi Group’s visit to Bangladesh

The Aghi Group is a well-known company in India’s poultry industry, recognized by their brand “Easy”. They are involved in livestock feed, equipment, broiler integration, publishing, and layer breeding. With a strategic vision to become a leader in layer breeding, Aghi Group and NOVOGEN have agreed to partner in India, offering an alternative and productive breed for farmers; thus contributing positively to the human food cycle.

Building on the proven success of NOVOgen White in Bangladesh operated by Paragon, Novogen and Paragon have had the opportunity to welcome the Aghi Group delegation aiming to assess how NOVOgen  White layers perform in the market of a neighbouring country. It was a great pleasure to welcome Mr. Vaibhav Aghi, MD of Easy Poultry Innovation, and Dr. Suhail Nabi in Bangladesh. Mr. Abdullah Al Mamun, Technical Support & Marketing Manager – Asia for Novogen organized the visit and tour to Bangladesh in perfect detail from May 3 – 7, 2025 and accompanied the visitors.

The Aghi Group team visited the Paragon PS breeder farm and CS farmers in the Cox Bazar area. This has given them an overview as to how well NOVOgen White CS layers are performing in tough and challenging weather conditions. “It was a great experience to visit CS farms in Cox Bazar area which seems like Indian weather conditions” said Mr. Vaibhav Aghi. Dr.  Suhail Nabi stated that “What we saw in the field has enforced our confidence about NOVOGEN performances and calm behaviors”.

To end this important visit, a conclusive meeting at the Paragon Office was organized to share field experiences and the result of successful entrepreneurship. NOVOGEN extends its sincere gratitude to Mr. Moshiur and Madam Rahman who have graciously allowed the visit of our Indian partners and showcasing their successful and thriving Paragon operations.

Novogen organized a field trip for a Nicaraguan delegation

NOVOGEN and its distributor Novogen do Brasil had the pleasure to welcome a delegation from Nicaragua that was eager to know our product better as well as our organization.

 

In April, a visit to the Espiritu Santo state was arranged, so the visitors can see our product performing in conditions similar to those found in Nicaragua. This trip was the perfect opportunity for an exchange between egg producers from different nations that will share a common product. Several subjects such as rearing practices and performance, production traits and product features were shared by Ovos Jetiva, the company that welcomed us for the visit.

 

For NOVOGEN SAS, Tomás Pérez Moya, Area Manager and Tercio Rodrigues, Product Manager for LATAM were present. The delegation was very pleased to have received detailed information about the Brazilian egg industry and the performance of our products by Tercio and some insight about the development on NOVOGEN in Latin America by Tomás.

This event was also a great occasion for us to enjoy the presence and collaboration of our distributor Novogen do Brasil. We thank Novogen do Brasil’s CEO, Mr. Gustavo Araujo for his invaluable presence and contribution during this visit.

Geneticist

– What is your role and mission at Novogen?

After my PhD dissertation in collaboration with INRAE on the optimisation of the selection on the floor system, I was hired at Novogen as a geneticist. My role is focused on the analysis of data collected from R&D and commercial farms. These data are then used to have a good understanding of genetic and genomic selection. The optimisation and development of the floor selection are one of the important topics I am working on with the R&D team. There are new criteria of selection that are very important when it comes to the development of NOVOGEN hens in different conditions of production. I am also pursuing a collaboration with INRAE concerning this topic with a lot of research questions. New projects have also been inaugurated with Iowa State University where I had a secondment for one (1) year.

 

-What is your project in the USA and why have you made this choice?

I wanted to acquire an experience abroad. NOVOGEN has given me a proposition to have a one-year secondment at Iowa State University aiming to develop research programmes with the university.
The project focuses on the analysis of field data in terms of crossbred layers from the lines of the company with the goal of identifying the most adaptable mathematical models and the best selection strategies. Specifically, we work on mortality rates in different environmental conditions, on the floor and in the cage.

-How was your integration in the United Stated?

The integration in the United States went very well. I had the opportunity to work both in multi-species genetic laboratory having a lot of experience. It is very enriching, and it complements my education. We already obtained very interesting results. I adapted rather well to American culture, even if it is quite different from Brittany !
