Scientific experts discussed the latest spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza and African swine fever globally, as well as ways the feed and poultry industries can plug gaps now in their biosecurity programs.
The Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit is sponsored by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, along with the American Feed Industry Association and the North American Meat Institute.
Most recently, Andrew Thomas held the role of vice president marketing at the protein-forward brand Wiled Chips, and prior served in the same role at global seafood company Chicken of the Sea.
The program covered what the animal food industry can expect from U.S. federal regulators in 2023 and findings from a recent African swine fever (ASF) feed mill decontamination study.
The consumer transparency study focused on consumers’ growing interest in transparency and its importance in their purchasing decisions and brand trust.
