The symposium promoted cooperation and networking opportunities between professionals in the industry while offering insightful information about the Pakistani poultry industry. Additionally, attendees had a chance to mingle with one another and take a break for their health.
The sponsorship of gold medals and certificates of acknowledgment is encouraging because it shows that the efforts are being supported and acknowledged. Once more, kudos to WPSA Pakistan for planning this significant occasion, which will undoubtedly benefit the country’s poultry industry.
Poultry production in Pakistan has experienced great growth and development in recent years, with a major modernization of farms, which has led Pakistan to become the eighth largest poultry producer in the world.
