Welcome to another edition of Poultry@Sydney!
In this Edition, we will feature
Dr Wendy Muir’s work on the productivity and welfare of long-life laying hens, an interview of the General Manager for Farming at Inghams,
Dr Sheridan Alfirevich, and the profile of PhD student,
Christine Clark.
In addition, I would like to talk briefly about our flagship poultry science conference, the
Australian Poultry Science Symposium, known as APSS.
The
Poultry Research Foundation (PRF) of the University of Sydney has always valued its interaction with the poultry industry since its inception in 1958. It held workshops, seminars and an annual symposium aiming to update the industry on the happenings around the world in poultry science as well as the Foundation’s own research outcomes. In 1989, under the leadership of PRF Director, Dr Derrick Balnave, the Foundation Symposium became the APSS as a joint conference series with the Australian Branch of the World’s Poultry Science Association.
The annual conference of APSS is always held in February in Sydney, organised by dedicated PRF staff of the University of Sydney.
APSS 2024 will be the 20th conference for Jo-Ann Geist, who has indeed become synonymous with the conference itself. Thank you Jo!
