Synopsis of the 3rd Latin American PSA conference

The Latin American section of the Poultry Science Association (PSA) met in Iguazu Falls, Paraná, Brazil, on October 4 to 6. This third event was held at the beautiful Bourbon Cataratas do Iguaçu Thermas Eco Resort. The Latin American Scientific Conference of the PSA has been held every two years in Brazil since 2016. But, after getting postponed twice due to the pandemic, this event was a success.

The Program Chair was Professor Alexandre Rosa, and Vice Chair was Dr. Nei Arruda Barbosa. With their direction, the Organizing Committee did an excellent job coordinating the event and overcoming the challenges during the past three years.

More than 600 people participated in this meeting, including students, researchers, professors, and professionals related to poultry science and production.

These participants came from 23 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Holland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, and the USA.
