French palmiped breeder moves with the times

摘要

When it comes to duck and goose breeding, Sepalm claim to be the French specialists with over 25 years experience in the field. To find out why this should be, International Hatchery Practice recently visited their facilities in the southwest of France. Sepalm was created in 1978 to select palmipeds (web footed birds) for the French foie gras producers. Today, it is producing ducks and geese for a variety of markets and the main business of Sepalm is the selection and production of Pekin and Muscovyducks.
