Core Tracks for Turkeys, Eggs, Broilers & Processing + Additional Content from Purina and Multi-State Poultry Conference
The full education program for the 2021 Midwest Poultry Federation (MPF) Virtual Convention is now available at MidwestPoultry.com.
MPF’s Education Co-Chairs – Drs. Darrin Karcher of Purdue University and Ken Koelkebeck of the University of Illinois – worked with poultry experts form academia, government agencies, and industry to develop a robust education program that covers a variety of important topics for poultry farmers, poultry processing companies, and suppliers.
MPF’s core education tracks were each given a specific day on the schedule in an effort to keep the sessions flexible for attendees:
March 18 – Broiler Track
March 19 – Processing Track
March 20 – Pullet / Egg Layer Track
March 21 – Turkey Track
In addition to the live speakers on these days, there will be a variety of on-demand presentations in each track as well as a special “Exhibitor Featured Content Track”.
Attendees also will be pleased to find out their registration provides complimentary access to these special events as well:
· Lunchtime Learning session on May 20, with topics covering why the right building materials matter from an insurance standpoint; and lessons learned from the founders of ChopLocal.com – a website that connects consumers directly to farmers.
All education programming will remain available to attendees through May 31.
