 Recently, Tom Warren and his wife Averil attended a poultry A.I. course at our experimental farm of La Sapaie. Coming from South Africa where they have been running a chicken station for more than 30 years, they wanted to improve in discovering new techniques. A few weeks after a first contact with IMV, they came over to Normandy where Tom confessed he was "impressed with IMV organization with facilities much bigger" than he thought it would be. "I am also really pleased to meet experts in so many different fields and I know I can rely on a company which manufactures most of the products and components it sells and has such a concern about bio-security".
