Digitalization in poultry production
In poultry production, digitalization is seen as the next big thing.
Kalyn Walker, North American business development manager, precision livestock farming, Evonik, will discuss how data-based project management, non-invasive health monitoring, and analytics can optimize feed composition and manufacturing for poultry performance and health.
What impact will CRISPR have on the poultry industry?
CRISPR techniques are being used to gene edit animals, plants and microorganisms and they are being used experimentally in human medicine.
The possibilities for use of CRISPR are significant, but the regulatory landscape for application of CRISPR is complex and rapidly evolving and consumer acceptance of its use in food producing animals presents another potential hurdle.
Mark Fife, Ph.D., head of biotechnology, Aviagen will present about the possibilities and hurdles facing CRISPR and other genomic techniques for poultry.
