How are societal, regulatory and consumer pressures impacting the health of poultry flocks around the world? Sign up now for a free online session about this topic at www.WATTevents.com. It’s part of the WATT Online Poultry Nutrition and Health Forum to be held Wednesday, November 18, 2009.
An international panel will discuss how consumer and regulatory pressures impact nutritional and veterinary care and the consequences for flock welfare and performance. Discussion will include the impact of reduction or elimination of antibiotics on gut health, plus other nutritional, husbandry and health implications for leg problems.
Moderating the panel will be Dr. Peter Ferket, North Carolina State University. Joining him on the panel will be Professor Richard Ducatelle, Dept. of Pathology, Bacteriology and Poultry Industries, Ghent University, Belgium, and Dr. Kenneth Powell, Hubbard.
Other forum presentations will deal with identifying and dealing with subclinical necrotic enteritis and the effective use of enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics and competitive exclusion. A panel will also examine runting-stunting and malabsoprtion syndromes.
