The annual Poultry Science Association held their annual general meeting in Montreal, Canada this year from July 15-18. The meeting attendance was 1,441 attendees from 50 different countries. A record number 715 abstracts were accepted. Karen was very busy at this years meeting as she was the program chair (for which she did an outstanding job!) and was elected as 2nd Vice President on the PSA Board of Directors. She also received the Novus International Inc. Teaching Award for demonstrating "outstanding success in the classroom as well as a dedication to professional improvement". Each member of our lab group is proud to have Karen as a mentor. We know how hard she works and are thrilled that she continues to be recognized as an exceptional educator and distinguished researcher! Our staff and students also did an amazing job presenting their research at the meeting, with 3 of our students receiving awards of excellence. The following presentations/posters were presented at the meeting:
"The effects of simulated transport conditions on pullet blood physiology, body temperature, and behaviour" - Kailyn Beaulac "Effects if simulated transport conditions on meat quality and core body temperature of brown strain end-of-cycle hens" - Kailyn Beaulac "Understanding how infrared beak treatment affects the beak tissue and the healing response of brown and white feathered layer pullets" - Sarah Struthers "Effect of myo-inositol and phytase on laying hen behaviour and welfare" - Eugenia Herwig "Effect of phytase and myo-inositol supplementation on the expression of inositol transporters in the small intestine of laying hens, and blood and yolk inositol concentrations" - Eugenia Herwig "The impact of various in-ovo wavelength spectrums on behaviour of Lohmann LSL-Lite and Lohmann Brown pullets under mismatched photoperiods" - Tory Shynkaruk "Investigating the effect of CO2 concentration on the efficacy of gaseous euthanasia of broiler chicks on day of hatch" - Bethany Baker. Student Certificate of Excellence recipient "Evaluating the impact of age on the efficacy of CO2 euthanasia for broilers in early life" - Bethany Baker "The effects of different wavelengths on broiler production" - Bruna Franco "Does wavelength in a photoperiod program impact boiler fear and stress levels" - Bruna Franco. Student Certificate of Excellence recipient "The influence of environmental stressors during simulated transportation on the behaviour and physiology for white-feathered end-of-cycle hens" - Carley Frerichs "The impacts of simulated transportation on meat quality of white-feathered end-of-cycle hens" - Carley Frerichs. Student Certificate of Excellence recipient "The effects of simulated transport conditions on pullet meat characteristics" - Samantha Lalonde "The effects of simulated transport conditions on pullet blood physiology, body temperature, and behaviour" - Samantha Lalonde
