NEWS 92 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2023 Novus International will share poultry research that can lead to positive outcomes for both egg and meat production in September. Mireille Huard, senior poultry technical services manager for Europe, will present the findings during two presentations at the 19th European Symposium on the Quality of Eggs and Egg Products and the 25th European Symposium on the Quality of Poultry Meat (together known as the Egg & Meat Symposium), 7-9 September in Krakow, Poland. “With fluctuations in feed costs and demand, it’s critical to offer a variety of ways to support the profitability of our customers’ poultry operations,” said Huard. “The information I’m presenting is valuable; based on a sound understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the production of quality meat and eggs.” Symposium attendees can hear the first presentation from Huard on September 7 during her presentation titled, Review on Eggshell Translucency: Description, Causes and Consequences for Egg Production. “Eggshell translucency is a quality issue that affects the appearance of the egg but can also impact the egg’s resistance to breakage and even bacterial infection. This challenge is a concern for both table eggs and hatching eggs,” Huard said. “My presentation is a review of the literature available on the topic and recommendations on intelligent nutrition interventions that can strengthen eggshells.” Huard’s second presentation is on September 8 where she’ll offer insights on the topic, Microminerals to Reduce Meat and Carcass Quality Issues.
