This month I have the pleasure of returning to overseas travel. I was invited to speak in Dubai about the challenges our industry faces in terms of gut health and some of the novel approaches we may be able to employ to alleviate them.
This presentation gave me the opportunity to focus on the gut brain axis and explore how what has been already researched in humans could be mirrored in chickens. There was a high level of engagement at the meeting and a great opportunity to network in person.
Despite the challenges of domestic flight cancellations, it was well worth the effort and I look forward to meeting more people at the upcoming World Poultry Congress in Paris.
I will be presenting two papers, including the benefits of our Virtual Reality Chicken. The VR Chicken is now available for purchase on the App Store, so get in touch if you are keen to see what it is all about.
We also have subsidised options for educational institutions and Poultry Hub Australia members.
This month, our PHA Job Ready training has kicked off again in Tamworth. The training has been quite popular despite the current low unemployment rate. industry challenges
The author was invited to speak in Dubai and her presentation focused on the gut brain axis and exploring how human-based research could be mirrored in chickens.
It’s a great opportunity to showcase what the Australian poultry industry does, and it also provides a great opportunity to dispel myths too.
Also, we have recently employed Mohsan Javed as a new trainer. Mohsan has strong experience in the chicken meat industry and has held training positions in the past. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome him and I look forward to sharing the outcomes of our training program over the coming months.
