The Poultry Research Foundation (PRF) of The University of Sydney was established in 1958 to provide an interface between academic research and industry.
PRF’s contribution to the development of the Australian poultry and stockfeed industries has been far-reaching, covering not only science but also workforce development and the provision of leadership.
We have recently been given the green light to officially become a Research Centre within the University. The transition changes PRF from a Foundation deemed a fundraising body under Australian Consumer Law to a university research entity aligned with the poultry and allied industries. As a result, PRF will retain its name as well as the Industry Council as an advisory body.
