Symposium Spotlight
Laying Hens and Eggs:
Where is Industry and Where is Academia?
Chairs: Darrin Karcher, Deana R. Jones, & Robert B. Beckstead
Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at 2:30 PM CST
There is a disconnect between industry, regulatory agencies and academia. This symposium will be a step toward establishing the annual Poultry Science meeting as the platform to engage on issues related to research and education needs. This translates to the opportunity to actively engage them regarding the science. The symposium will encourage people who do not typically come to Poultry Science from the regulatory agencies and industry commodity groups. Finally, this symposium will provide an opportunity to identify and tap donor that we have not engaged in the past.
