PSA meeting to discuss current poultry industry issues

This year’s annual meeting of the Poultry Science Association (PSA) will showcase an unprecedentedly wide-ranging assortment of papers and discussions focused on present and future challenges facing the poultry industry. The meeting will be held July 9-12 at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga.

“Poultry production has always been an exciting and rewarding, but also an extremely challenging business,” said Dr. Mike Wineland, PSA president and professor of poultry science at North Carolina State University. “The pressures arising from today’s rapidly changing social and political environment have combined to make it even more so and have made the need to stay abreast of the latest technologies and advancements more important than ever. To that end, Dr. Ken Macklin and his program committee have put together what we believe is an important and highly informative slate of symposia and speakers for this year’s event. We strongly encourage representatives from the industry, as well as related members of academia, to attend.”
