Getting started together with Lindsay Winchester
SKOV A/S have made an agreement with one of New Zealand's leading broilerproducers, Lindsay Winchester, on consultative services performed by him in connection with start-up and optimization of livestock houses with SKOV ventilation systems so the grower gets the most out of his production facilities.

Through the sales office in Bangkok, SKOV has made an agreement with one of New Zealand's leading broiler producers. He will help SKOV customers to get an optimum yield from their production facilities.

- It is our experience that the grower, more easily, gets the full benefit of the extra functionality provided by a SKOV climate computer, if he gets some help with the first batch of broilers, says General Manager for Asia, Thomas O. Hansen, SKOV A/S.

- Therefore, we have made an agreement with Lindsay Winchester on consultative services. He travels around the region to help SKOV customers with general optimization of the production and start-up of new houses, continues Thomas O. Hansen.

Together with his wife Marie-Louise Winchester, Lindsay has a broiler farm in New Zealand which is known for its production efficiency.

Lindsay started as a broiler producer approx. 11 years ago and today a batch includes approx. 90 000 broilers. He was the first producer to introduce SKOV ventilation for his integrator. For many years, Lindsay and Marie-Louise have worked goal-oriented to improve and optimise their broiler production and they were the first in New Zealand to pass 400 PIF (Performance Indicator Factor).

- We have already had some good experiences with Lindsay assisting customers during the first production cycle. He has thus already provided consultative services to leading integrations in South Korea and South Africa, among others, where he has trained farm managers in broiler production routines. Furthermore, SKOV has asked him to make contributions on special topics at several seminars, continues Thomas O. Hansen.

It will thus be possible to make agreements on consultative services. Lindsay will be working on the farm for a specified period of time during which he, together with the farm manager and the operational staff, will ensure that the broilers are started up correctly. At a later stage, he will be available to assist the farm manager over the phone or e-mail.

If a broiler producer wants to make use of Lindsay Winchester's expertise in connection with starting up a production, he can make an agreement on consultative services by contacting General Manager for Asia, Thomas O. Hansen, ph.: (+66) 2 245 8636.
