The U.S. Poultry
& Egg Association and the USPOULTRY
Foundation is accepting research pre-proposals from colleges and
universities through May 1. Research proposals are accepted twice each year, in
the spring and fall.
A complete priority
research list, including sub-topics and detailed instructions, is available on
the USPOULTRY website. The list of research priorities includes
the following: animal welfare, breeder management (broiler/turkey), broiler
management, commercial egg production, diseases, employee safety and
health, environmental management, feed
mill operations, food safety, further processing, genetics, hatchery
management, human nutrition, live haul, market turkey management, nutrition,
poultry housing, pullet management, and processing.
Proposals also are invited for new issues that emerge outside
the list, but based on justification of the research need. Projects will be
selected for funding in late August.
USPOULTRY and its Foundation
operate a comprehensive research program incorporating all phases of poultry and
egg production and processing. Since the inception of the research program,
USPOULTRY has reinvested more than $24 million dollars into the industry in the
form of research grants, with the International Poultry Expo as the primary
source for the funding. More than 50 universities and federal and state
facilities have received grants over the years.
