Disseminating Your Research Through PSA

The Poultry Science Association hosts a variety of options to support our mission to disseminate the research and knowledge within the poultry science community and beyond. The journals (Poultry Science^® and The Journal of Applied Poultry Research) are fantastic, peer reviewed publications, but once your research has been published, what else can be done?

As PSA continues to develop new methods to disseminate the science, keep in mind the options available to you now. Through Let's Squawk About It, you have the opportunity to discuss your current, or past research, and its relevance for the poultry science industry and community. Interpretive Summaries are produced monthly and serve to condense the scientific research from our journals into a quick-read format linking directly to your articles. Additional Reading in every issue of our monthly PSA Postings is dedicated to research notes and review articles, serving to push the latest science and still-relevant content to our community.

Is there maybe something else we can consider or you would like to participate in? I would love to hear from you to discuss further possibilities! Express your interest through the Get Involved with PSA form or you can email me directly at sam.shafer@poultryscience.org.

As things shift to a more natural approach, what are some of the natural feed additives to consider? What are they good for? And, what are their limitations? Join PSA as we discuss all natural feed additives and the benefits they can offer to poultry health with Laura Corbett representing Anpario.

Do you want to squawk with us? Complete the Get Involved with PSA Form to submit your topic for consideration on Let's Squawk About It.

Pekin Duck of Course!

With the rise in duck meat popularity, especially in China, how long does it take to raise ducks to a marketable age? This question of course comes without compromising on meat quality and nutritional value. Researchers at Yangzhou University have examined this topic from every angle and pinpointed an ideal age for Cherry Valley broiler ducks.

This research note examines the meat quality of small-sized meat ducks based on two different rearing systems. For the experiment, the birds were reared in a furnished cage system or a plastic wire-floor system.

This quick read provides an insight into the slight differences on growth performance found by rearing the birds on two different flooring systems.
