early 150 poultry industry professionals and students met at Guntersville State Lodge in October for Alabama Poultry and Egg Association’s, or APEA's, annual poultry industry seminar. Attendees heard updates from Auburn University poultry science department faculty and Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries officials and discussed topics such as responding to animal activists’ tactics, trends and forecasts in the industry, salmonella control and more. In conjunction with the seminar, golfers enjoyed a round at Eagle’s Nest Golf Course in Guntersville the day prior. APEA Associate Director Ray Hilburn thanked sponsors and attendees for the successful event. “This seminar provides those in our industry an opportunity to network and hear from industry affiliates on issues we face in the poultry business,” Hilburn said. “We appreciate all our seminar sponsors for making this event a success and for providing further education to the great folks who make up our industry.”
