September 9, 2024 - The poultry industry has long faced various challenges and opportunities, but one issue that remains at the forefront is bird welfare. This year, the National Chicken Council, National Turkey Federation, United Egg Producers and US Poultry & Egg Association are joining forces again for the 2024 Live Production, Welfare and Biosecurity Seminar. Scheduled for October 3-4 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown in Nashville, Tennessee, this seminar aims to address these ongoing concerns.
"Production efficiencies, welfare and biosecurity best practices are ongoing priorities for those involved in live production. Attendees will come away with the latest information, resources, tools and best practices to make informed decisions on managing their operations and protecting the health and welfare of broilers, layers, turkeys and ducks," said Rusty Langle, Live Operations Manager at Peco Foods and Planning Committee Chair.
