Public Poultry
Group Description
Varied forms of poultry diseases occurs in all corners of the world. Some have regional impact while others affect a larger global area. They continue to cause serious losses to poultry producers on a day-to-day basis. Managing and controlling them is something that a producer must always be ready with. On larger significance, infections have caused serious restraint to international trade. The SEC community has the advantage of having members represent different geographic regions and some important emerging markets. SECs poultry community puts forth this interest group titled “Poultry disease management and control” to promote exchange of information that would help community members learn from each other’s experiences. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.
