Dr. Stephen Collett, clinical associate professor at the Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center, University of Georgia, will present, “Antibiotics: The Cost – Public perception, trust and hospital-acquired infections. What are the alternatives?” The event will take place Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2016 with registration at 7:45 a.m. and breakfast beginning at 8-9 a.m.

Collett’s presentation will examine how to manage microbiota through the ‘feed, seed and weed’ approach and the critical steps to take in controlling coccidiosis without antibiotics. With 20 years of experience implementing antibiotic-free programs in the United States and abroad, Collett specializes in managing digestive health to maximize bird welfare, nutrient assimilation and performance.
