PPILOW’s People: Maxime Reverchon!

My name is Maxime Reverchon, I am a researcher in biotechnology of reproduction at SYSAAF (French poultry and aquaculture breeding association). I am specialized in avian and aquacole species. I mainly study the fertility potentials of animals by studying the factors influencing gamete formation, sexual maturity, sexual behaviour etc…

I take part in WP 5 and 6 of Ppilow project. My role in Ppilow project is to choose and provide in collaboration with french avian breeding companies some dual purpose genotypes to avoid the killing of one day old chick. Our goal is to find a good compromise genotype in order to keep both male for meat production and female for eggs production.
