During the 2 days of PIX/AMC 2012, a number of free workshops will be conducted, covering areas such as breeder management, hatchery management and disease investigation, all run by leaders in their field.
Breeders Workshop
Dr Keith Bramwell from the University of Arkansas will lead workshops discussing how to optimise egg quality and viability. With a maximum of 50 people per workshop you’re sure to have your questions addressed. The one and a half hour workshop will be repeated 4 times.
Hatchery Workshop
Scott Martin from Cobb Vantress will again lead our successful hatchery workshop. Take the opportunity to discuss the latest in hatchery technology and practice. The one and a half hour workshop session will be repeated in 4 time slots. Each group is limited to 27 people. The program is designed specifically for people working in hatcheries.
Ask a Vet Workshop
Four of Australia’s leading poultry veterinarians are making themselves available to lead discussions on disease management in either meat chicken or layer flocks. Here is an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of how to respond to your flock’s health challenges. Each one and a half hour workshop session will be fully interactive and will address your concerns. The workshops are for farmers and technical service personnel.
Tunnell Ventilation Workshop
Back by popular demand, Mike Czarick, with Brian Fairchild (University of Georgia, USA) will lead a one-day tunnel ventilation management workshop. The workshop is aimed at meat chicken growers. Some sections are useful to egg producers.
Mike and Brian will lead discussion about getting the most from your equipment, understanding your flock’s requirements, managing minimum and transitional ventilation, among a host of other topics.
Mike’s practical approach and wealth of knowledge about tunnel ventilation will make this workshop one well worthwhile attending.
A charge of $140 applies (includes catering and proceedings).
