The Hatchery-Breeder Clinic of 2015 will be held July 14-15 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Nashville, TN.  U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, sponsors of the the event, have announced that the focus will be on avian influenza preparations for the fall season, along with new innovations and best practices for flock performance.

“This year’s program will address several timely topics, such as steps managers should take now to potentially prepare for avian influenza in the fall season, animal welfare global requirements, and sanitation at the hatchery and at the breeder farm. I think hatchery-breeder managers will find this program very informative, and I encourage them to attend,” said program committee chairperson Pat Hawkins, Tyson Foods, Inc.

Other topics include: Effects of ABF/Preparation; Chick Transport New Innovation; Temperature Set Points and Step-Down Programs in the Hatchery; Safety at the Hatchery and on the Farm…Back to Basics; Breeder Uniformity/Early Male Mortality; Broadcast Feeding in the Brooder House; and Salmonella A to Z – Breeders through Hatchery.
