Teagasc’s first poultry Knowledge Transfer event will take place on Monday, 10th October in Teagasc Ballyhaise College, Co. Cavan and on Tuesday, 11th October in Teagasc Moorepark Food Research Centre, Co. Cork.

These events will give broiler farmers, processors and stakeholders a chance to engage with experts on the topics that are influencing our industry on a day-to-day basis and into the future. The presentations will cover broiler genetics, vaccines, robotics, sustainable energy sources, planning issues, ammonia emissions, etc.

Relevant companies and organisations will host stands in our exhibition hall, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss the issues related to their broiler enterprise.
