The Pincoy project, the collaborative initiative led by AquaGen, Blumar, Camanchaca, Centrovet, Cermaq, Pharmaq and Skretting, will launch a good practice manual for the industry in a free webinar to be held on October 20, 2020.

The Pincoy project is an initiative created in 2016 to reduce the use of antibiotics in the Chilean salmon farming industry by implementing high sanitary and animal welfare standards plus operational excellence throughout all the productive chain. The webinar will introduce its good practice manual that will be available to the Chilean industry. The manual introduces a series of practices that are possible to carry out throughout the salmon production cycle, from the egg to the growing stages in seawater, to contribute towards sustainable growth of the salmon industry through improving fish health and welfare standards.

“The good practice manual has been a great collaborative effort of a large group of specialists of the highest quality from the seven companies that take part in Pincoy, to share with the industry their experience and know-how. This manual will be available to the whole salmon industry and we hope it will help as a guide for educational and research organizations and the general community interested in developing salmon farming responsibly and sustainably,” said Alexander Jaramillo, project coordinator.

This launch event will also feature talks from international speakers addressing the production trends of the salmon industry worldwide. Register here.
