PSA Executive Director Andy Vance met with the Executive Committee of the German Branch of WPSA to discuss the continued partnership between the German branch and European Poultry Science. PSA acquired the journal earlier this year, and has taken it to the Open Access publishing model with the enthusiastic support of the German poultry science community. “This collaboration with our German colleagues is a model of intentional partnership and how we can advance poultry science worldwide,” Vance said after the meeting in G?ttingen. “I’m grateful to Professors Tzschentke, Grashorn, Tiemann, and Tetens for their friendship and strategic vision for this journal. Together we are going to provide tremendous opportunities for European scientists to publish and present their work internationally.” Left-to-right: Prof. Dr. Barbara Tzschentke (Editor in Chief of European Poultry Science)Prof. Dr. Inga Tiemann, Secretary of the German Branch of WPSAProf. Dr. Jens Tetens, Executive Committee of the German BranchProf. Dr. Michael Grashorn, President of the German BranchAnnis Moreira, Senior Publisher with Elsevier #poultryscience #poultryhealth

PSA member Dalton Dennehy, a PhD candidate in poultry science ?? at Mississippi State University, specializes in functional feed additives and their effects on broiler performance. His research ?? bridges practical application and cutting-edge science in poultry nutrition. He recently shared his journey and insights into shaping the future of the poultry industry on The Poultry Podcast Show. ???

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major concern for human and food-animal health. Key to building a better understanding of AMR selection and spread is the resistome, the collection of all antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) and their precursors in the gut microbiome. ?? PSA member Ana Fonseca, DVM, PhD candidate in animal and microbiome sciences at Pennsylvania State University, was recently highlighted for her study that sought to characterize the effects of a probiotic and an essential oils blend on the broiler resistome. ??
