“This is our 19th year putting on the school,” said Teresa Morishita, PHMS board president and one of the founding PHMS team members. “We created the school with the purpose to expose farm owners, managers and employees to better comprehend poultry health and poultry management strategies under the guidance of allied company and university professionals.
The schedule for the week is:
- Turkey and Broiler Health Management School: May 18–19 with a welcome reception Monday evening, May 18.
- Layer Health Management School: May 20–21 with a welcome reception Wednesday evening, May 20.
“This school is not possible without the generous support of our allied company sponsors,” said Morishita. “Sponsorship is a tremendous opportunity for companies to expose their business portfolio to a diversified audience of farm personnel across the country.”
