Poultry Processor Workshop To Focus On The Plant Manager’s Dashboard

Mar 27, 2015

Providing safe, affordable and sustainable products from the processing plant to the dinner table is the main objective of plant managers. The 201 5 Poultry Processor Workshop will provide up - to - date information on the latest technology, new manage ment techniques and current inspection issues affecting processing operations. Sponsored by U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, this year's workshop will be held May 20 - 21 , at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, Ga

“Plant managers continue to seek efficie nt ways to achieve the most productivity from their plants while keeping food safety and quality assurance in mind. This year’s group of experts will focus on the plant manager’s dashboard, covering topics that every plant manager has to deal with on a dai ly basis, such as sanitation, production/yield, team member safety and environmental issues.

Video: Season 6, Episode 10: Defining Resiliency and the Research Driving Swine Health Forward

Genetic research and new technologies continue to influence the future of swine health and production efficiency. In this episode, we explore how research and technology are being used to support stronger, more resilient pigs, while also improving overall production outcomes. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist with Topigs Norsvin, to discuss both routine and emerging strategies for improving piglet, pig, and sow livability. She outlines two primary approaches to enhancing resiliency: gene editing and traditional selective breeding. Continuing the resiliency conversation, we also hear from Dr. Lucina Galina, director of technical research projects at the Pig Improvement Company. She shares insights into ongoing gene-editing work focused on PRRS, detailing the pathway to success, regulatory and practical considerations, and the questions that still remain as the technology evolves. Together, these conversations provide a closer look at how research, genetics and innovation are shaping the future of swine health and livability.
