Last week Ovum 2024 was celebrated at Punta del Este convention centre, in Uruguay. Once again, we participated in an event that is considered as the most relevant one for the Latin American poultry sector. More than 3,000 people attended the congress and visited the booths of the commercial area. The next edition will take place in Guatemala in 2026. We hope to see you there again!

This is the first time that LIVISTO attends this event with an own stand. The fair had an exhibition area with 80 booths of companies from the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina, among others. The talks were attended by poultry farmers from El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua and gathered 1,150 congress participants. It was a crowded meeting where our team was able to share experiences and greet regular customers, as well as approach and present our products to new prospects. We are very pleased with our participation in the event and look forward to seeing you again in future editions. Thank you for your visits!

The next edition of OVUM is going to be held in the Convention Center of Punta del Este, Uruguay. There will be three days of conferences and exhibitions presented by experts in the field. You will find us at stand C07. We look forward to seeing you there!

Through this acquisition, LIVISTO Group is able to further expand the footprint in Guatemala and to complete the next milestone of its strategy 2030 for the Americas. Strategically, Guatemala is an important market in Central America with the largest land mass and the biggest populations of both humans and animals. In addition to a large growing livestock market there is an expanding companion animal market. LIVISTO has operated in Guatemala for over 20 years through Servi Agro, which has established a profound base from which to expand. The sales office and distribution centre is located in Guatemala City. The initial focus will be expanding the market presence with the range of LIVISTO products sourced from El Salvador. LIVISTO is delighted to welcome all new colleagues and is looking forward serving the new customers day by day.

Under the title “Malaysia pig farming outlook from biosecurity, immunity and therapeutic perspective”, the event brought together 200 farmers and veterinarians from the pig sector. From LIVISTO we gave a conference on the Porcine Respiratory Complex and tulathromycin. That was followed by another talk given by the distributor explaining their experience with TULLAVIS 100. After the coffee break, three more speakers had the chance to give their speeches. Finally, the day concluded with a nice dinner party to allow the participants to share their thoughts among each other.

From LIVISTO we participated with a booth where our team greeted the visitors and informed them about the news in our catalogue and the characteristics of our star products. With this, we intend to strengthen the ties with poultry farmers, big and small, and show them ways in which they can benefit from the use of our products. More than 1000 participants registered for this edition, the first presential one since the emergence of Covid-19. Even if it is a national congress, among the attendants there were participants from other countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, USA, Mexico, Italy, and Venezuela. One of the attractions of this edition has undoubtedly been to recover face-to-face training, which had not been possible in recent years. Despite the adversities occurred during and after the pandemic, Panamanian poultry farmers continue to look to the future with optimism, trusting local production and its quality. At LIVISTO we believe in the importance of human relationships and its continuity, reason why we promote our participation in this kind of events, both locally and internationally.

With an attendance of 350 people, the congress focused on the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of the sector, providing training to the attendees. In this context, LIVISTO’s technical service gave a presentation to about 200 people entitled Calf rearing: Present and Future of Profitability. LIVISTO is committed to cooperating with the dairy sector by providing knowledge, as it is one of the main drivers of growth and development, and we establish strategic alliances with associations such as PROLECHE to continue supporting farmers.

The Congreso Lechero is a meeting point for all dairy producers in the country and gathers the sector’s suppliers. The team from LIVISTO Panamá was there assisting the visitors and explaining how to use some of our products such as LHIVISAN, indicated for the transition period and based on liposoluble vitamins and minerals; or VITAMIL, that contains hidrosoluble vitamins, amino acids, and iron among others. Another interesting product that was promoted was NOBAC.CF, an injectable antibiotic indicated for metritis with a 0-day withdrawal period in milk. And of course, being a dairy event, we could not forget to talk about our intramammary syringes for acute mastitis: ANTIMASTITIS A and especially TOTALMAST, a product with a great acceptance in between the producers from Chiriquí given the results obtained; as well as the intramammary syringe for the dry period: ANTIMASTITIS S. We are grateful for the confidence of COOLECHE R.L., organiser of the event and important commercial partner when it comes to presenting and bringing our solutions closer to the end user, and for the opportunity it gives us to be at the side of the milk producers who use our products on a daily basis to get ahead.

Once again, LIVISTO joined with a booth in this important event that congregates more than 3500 professionals from the poultry sector.

Access VetMed (www.accessvetmed.eu) is the new name for the former European Group for Generic Veterinary Medicines (EGGVP). The association is active since 2002, aiming to achieve sustainable animal health policies and legislation and facilitating access and responsible use of veterinary medicines in Europe, as part of the One Health approach. It is formed by 25 generic veterinary pharmaceutical companies (including LIVISTO) that are present in 31 E.U. countries, employs more than 7600 people and sustains 45% of all generic veterinary medicines marketing authorisations in Europe. The name change is a clear statement as ACCESS is an acronym for: Availability, Compliance, Convenience, Efficacy, Safety and Savings. These features have a significant impact to animal health and well-being, which also directly contributes to human and environmental health. Access VetMed aims to be recognised as the European industry voice for generic and added-value veterinary medicines, as members are increasingly producing products with improved features, such as a more convenient form, dosage or palatability when compared to the originator.

After an introduction about what is Coronavirus and how the disease spreads, we presented statistical charts, which showed that cases of COVID-19 in Bolivia were still increasing. The second and main part of the technical talk was focused on practical biosecurity recommendations to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak on the farm. Some of these advices are: • All material coming from outside should not enter into the facilities, or at least it should be disinfected, because materials in which coronavirus persists can transmit the infection. • Workers should wash their hands more frequently. They also should practice social distancing and wear a mask if they are close to somebody. • Staff should work in shifts and in stable groups. • If a worker is sick, he should stay at home. In brief, a review of the main precautionary measures against COVID-19 was conducted in order to reduce the impact of the virus. Given that the best way to fight the disease is be well informed, LIVISTO will keep offering these sort of activities to help the livestock sector address the challenges that may emerge and adjust to a new normal.

At LIVISTO group, belonging to the Animal health sector, we know the importance of our task, so now more than ever we will keep offering our services to our customers, trying to keep the normality as far as possible, to be able keep the health status by providing medicines to the farms and hence guaranteeing the food supply to the population. This is an unknown challenge for all of us and we are aware that it will be difficult, but we will keep working from our facilities and from our homes with the same passion and commitment to ensure that we are ALONG WITH YOU.

The event was held at the Eb hotel by eurobuilding Quito, where around 130 congressmen attended. The congress was about technical talks on grazing management for maximum milk production, feeding and reproduction. We were present at this event, participating as a sponsor. Furthermore, we had a stand to to show the different high quality products that the company offers for cattle.

MENBUTIL is a menbutone-based injectable product. It has a choleretic digestive effect that enhances digestion through different pathways. First, menbutone acts at the stomach increasing pesinogen secretion and thus boosting protein digestion. On the other hand, it also has an effect on the liver promoting bile secretion, which, in turn, improves the absorption of fat and helps eliminate toxic substances. Moreover, it simulates pancreatic function, which is related to carbohydrate digestion. Combining the three effects, MENBUTIL supports the digestion of the three main nutrients present in the diet.

During the interview, Dr. Flores presented the characteristics of our long lasting, broad-spectrum, doramectin based injectable parasiticide against internal and external parasites. This talk is one of the LIVISTO’s initiatives to raise the awareness of farmers about the importance of antiparasitic control in cattle. Next week we will listen again Dr. Flores talking about antiparasitic products in Radio Ranchera 106.5.

The aim of this institution is to raise awareness about the associated risk to the emergence of superbacteria as a consequence of an inadequate use of antibiotics and to promote its prudent use, both in human and animal health, with the aim of preventing the emergence of resistances. As a pharmaceutical veterinary company, we are aware of the importance of the correct use of antibiotics and for this reason, at LIVISTO we carry on actions aligned with this campaign. Last Thursday 14th, Sandra Campero -Global Director of Global Marketing Livestock- attended a round table about the use of antibiotics to show the LIVISTO perspective about the subject from the pharmaceutical and commercial point of view.

The marketing teams representing the National and Export Markets met last week in our facilities of LIVISTO in Cerdanyola del Vallés Barcelona, to analyse the last global marketing actions, foresee the future global and local actions and define the global strategy of the future launches for the Livestock portfolio. The meeting was an opportunity to share experiences and points of view of the different markets and align the strategy of all the teams.

LIVISTO was present with a Corporate booth in which our team received our clients from Peru and also from all over Latin America. Members from LIVISTO teams in El Salvador and Spain travelled to Lima to attend the congress. Our team assisted the visitors during the three days of the show and informed them about the products for poultry included in our broad portfolio. Our participation in this kind of events helps us to reach veterinarians and local producers to directly explain them where does LIVISTO come from and everything we can offer them.

At the beginning of September we started a campaign to promote parasite control in El Salvador by raising awareness on its importance among the farmers. The main activity of the campaign were a series of technical talks held in three different locations in the country. In total, around 200 people attended the seminars that were held in San Miguel, Santa Ana and Chalatenango. At the talks, the audience –veterinarians, farmers and pharmacy owners- could learn the advantages of parasite control as well as the need for it in order to achieve good productive results and maintain animal welfare. We, at LIVISTO, are committed with our customers by bringing them updated information about our products and how and when to use them.

Monday’s subject was cattle farming. Our teams from Barcelona and Russia shared their experience in different fields regarding cattle farming such as reproduction programs, antiparasitic protection, or mastitis prevention and treatment. After lunch, we took a tour around the farm in order to learn the particularities of cattle farming in Spain compared to their countries. The farm we visited is certified for Animal Welfare thanks to the good conditions the animals are in. They even play relaxing music to the dry cows so that they are calm and spend more time resting before parturition. It is always interesting for the farmers and veterinarians from other countries to be able to visit farms in different areas in order to compare the different systems and equipments they have. On Tuesday, the topics were pig production and poultry production. During the day we reviewed the most relevant topics in both species and gave a range of solutions to the main pathologies affecting these animals. This kind of events help us to weave stronger links with our customers and also allow us to learn from their needs in their daily practice so that we can bring them new solutions in the future.

The aim of the journey was to introduce the LIVISTO brand and to give formation to veterinarians and farmers from the area. The Business Unit Manager of Asia and MEA presented the LIVISTO group to the attendants. Afterwards, the Technical Services Manager gave several talks in each city to explain the characteristics of each product and to recommend their use in the main pathologies of cattle and dairy cows. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics bovine is the main livestock production in Pakistan, followed by goats and sheep. Livestock sector is approximately the 11% of the Gross Domestic Product of the country. LIVISTO has a broad portfolio of solutions to help farmers and veterinarians in their daily practice and give them support to raise healthy animals.

The theme for the photo category was to describe the LIVISTO claim “Along with you”, showing humans and animals interacting closely. Whereas for the video category we asked the participants to share their experience with LIVISTO products. We received plenty of submissions from many different countries that transmitted very well the messages we asked for. So the final decision was very difficult to take. We would like to congratulate all participants for the creativity and the effort made to produce all the pictures and videos.
