It is expected that this Forum will keep growing to reach again the 1,765 attendees registered in 2018.
Three hundred sixty scientific communications were presented this year, 208 short oral presentations, and 152 posters.
These research reports are offered by groups from universities, represented mainly by graduate students, professors, and also personnel from poultry and feed allied industry companies.
The information discussed in this conference includes all poultry production and health areas, split into rooms for each topic. The subject matters include:
Physiology
Teaching, pedagogy and extension

These talks or posters also include reports of feed ingredient and quality evaluations, methodologies to evaluate energy and nutrient content and feed processing methods.
