Poultry Information Exchange 2010

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre
Sunday 23 May - Thursday 26 May 2010

The key characteristic of this biennial conference is a focus on 'information exchange', facilitating a two-way flow of information of practical relevance.  Over 41 years, this philosophy has made the Poultry Information Exchange (PIX) the premier Australasian poultry industry conference for people working in or serving the production sector of the industry.  PIX is renowned for the camaraderie amongst its delegates.   It includes international and Australian speakers.

The themes of the PIX2010 will specifically cater for the needs of farmers and personnel from meat chicken, egg and breeder farms, hatcheries and processors as well as people from the service industries (housing, equipment, drugs, chemicals, feed, premixes, government research and extension). Speakers will focus on issues of direct application on the farm. We ask our speakers to be conscious of the audience and present technical and scientific information in a simple non-scientific style.

The main program will include two days (Monday and Tuesday) of general, meat chicken, egg industry and alternative (barn and free-range) production systems session.   There will also be workshops on breeder management,  hatchery management and post mortem of poultry on these days.  On Wednesday, participants may elect to attend a full day tunnel ventilation workshop.

PIX2010 aims to:

• provide an environment which encourages people to participate in discussion and exchange information on technical developments, issues and ideas which have practical significance to the poultry industry.
• encourage the effective presentation of information in the form of spoken papers, prepared papers, trade displays and demonstrations.
• promote fellowship amongst people whose common interest is in the poultry industry.

At the PIX2010 Trade Exhibition on Sunday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday you’ll be able to examine the latest equipment, products, technology and services available to the Poultry Industry.

The social program will let you catch up with colleagues at the Welcome Dinner on Sunday night, unwind at the PIX Dinner with entertainment on Monday night and start Tuesday in the best of ways at the Poultry Industry Breakfast.  Lunches will be in the trade display area.
