Conference have joined
forces to produce the
1984 Delmarva Broiler
Housing and Flock
Supervisors’ Con
ference. The day-long
event will take place
Sept. 11 at the Carousel
Hotel in Ocean City,
MD. It is being spon
sored by the Delmarva
Poultry Industry, Inc.,
in cooperation with the
University of Delaware
and University of
Maryland.
The morning half of
the program, which will
begin at 8:30 a.m., will
focus on air quality
problems in poultry
houses. Speakers will
discuss: OSHA’s
position on en
vironmental quality and
the broiler producer;
possible effects and
precautions growers
should take; and the
effect of air quality on
bird performance. A
grower will also discuss
air quality problems
from his perspective.
Following these talks
there will be presen
tations on methods of
controlling air quality:
ammonia control
through litter treatment
and other practices;
ventilation and misting
techniques; and the use
of air scrubbers to
reduce ammonia inside
a broiler house.
In the afternoon there
will be talks on keeping
poultry housing up to
date and competitive,
plus updates on
reoviruses, adenoviru
ses and avian influenza,
and a two-part
motivational film. At
4:45 DPI president
Jerry Truitt will present
the industry’s out
standing broiler
supervisor awards. The
conference will close
with a fellowship hour.
Since avian influenza
quarantines are still in
effect in parts of Penn
sylvania and the
Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia, Delmarva
poultry health officials
have asked persons
from these quarantine
areas, as well as in
dividuals who have had
recent contact with
those areas, not to at
tend the conference
Deadline for
registration is Aug 31
There will be a $2O fee to
cover lunch and other
costs. For further in
formation contact
