For this episode of The Poultry Edge, we discuss ventilation systems in poultry units with Steven Lester, from JF McKenna.

BroilerNet, which was a European 2022 Horizon Project, and which Teagasc was a partner in for the last number of years, helped develop and highlight innovative best practices on broiler farms across Europe.
Nick Paridaans, the International Poultry Hygiene Specialist with MS Schippers, joins Rebecca Tierney on the latest Poultry Edge to discuss terminal hygiene protocols, the process of cleaning and disinfecting after one flock, which is a hugely important step for giving the next flock the best chance for a healthy productive cycle.
