Arkansas poultry farm managers will have the opportunity to learn about the latest in ventilation technology and techniques at the Ventilation Practices and Principles workshop from the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture.
The workshop is scheduled for July 9, from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Craighead County Extension Office at 611 E. Washington Ave. in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Lunch will be provided.
Zac Williams, extension poultry husbandry and management specialist for the Division of Agriculture, said the workshop will cover important aspects of caring for poultry during the heat of the summer.
“The workshop will cover hot weather ventilation, including static pressure, wind speed, relative humidity and some basic maintenance,” Williams said. “Attendees will learn how bird physiology plays into heat stress and how we use the principles of ventilation to keep our birds cool and productive. Any service techs or growers will benefit from attending.”
Attendance at the workshop is free, but online registration is required.
