Advances in digital technologies and innovation could dramatically transform the poultry industry over the coming years, improving bird health and welfare and improving productivity and profit. “I’ve now substituted innovation for digital because I think we’ve moved past digital,” said Poultry Tech Summit 2023 keynote speaker, Gordon Butland, director, G&S Agriconsultant.

Poultry Tech Summit focuses on the transition of innovative technologies into commercial applications to advance the poultry industry.
