Learn about the technologies being developed to meet these challenges.EggUS cage-free egg pledges coming due, chaos not expectedIn an exclusive survey of US egg producers, most predict an ample supply of cage-free eggs in 2025-26, and any shortages will be brief.Food Safety & Processing PerspectiveWhy is HPAI still considered a foreign animal disease?Since HPAI is prevalent in high numbers in many species of wild birds around the globe, and has even been found in many mammals, isn’t it time for us to reconsider the industry’s approach to the pandemic?Diseases & HealthWhich technologies will drive poultry health improvement?Whole genome sequencing, application of CRISPR technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and new vaccine technologies all hold promise for improving poultry health outcomes, but which will become practical and have the most impact?Egg4 variables for US egg producers to factor in 2024 plansWill 2024 be the calm before the storm in 2025 for the U.S. egg market?Food Safety & Processing Perspective9 technology insights to improve poultry operationsFrom hatchery to slaughter plant and from hen house to egg carton, innovators and technology experts shared how technological innovations can improve bird performance and production facility operations.Food Safety & Processing PerspectiveHow will advances in science impact poultry health?Join us for an in-person discussion of how increased knowledge of the microbiome, immune function, the poultry genome and artificial intelligence will impact your birds’ health and welfare.Food Safety & Processing PerspectiveProposed EFSA regulations threaten EU broiler producersIf accepted as proposed, these new regulations would switch the EU from a net exporter to an importer of chicken meat.Page 1 of 59Next Page
