A successful poultry production needs knowledge in various disciplines, including management, housing and climate control, disease control, nutrition, sustainability, and animal welfare among others. There is thus a\u00a0high demand for trained and educated experts. Furthermore, there is an obvious\u00a0need for effective solutions for many challenges, including infectious and non-infectious diseases, and\u00a0increased consumer awareness of food safety, sustainability and animal welfare\u00a0for which\u00a0fundamental and applied research is necessary.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0collaboration\u00a0between\u00a0Ghent University\u00a0and two companies: \u00a0Vetworks\u00a0and\u00a0Poulpharm, will strengthen both education and research in this area of poultry health.<\/p>\n
