Research
We conduct basic and applied research on poultry health and production with an emphasis on emerging problems affecting the North Carolina poultry industry. Below are poster and slide presentations of various PHM research projects.
Poster Presentations
Posters presentations were prepared originally as large Microsoft Powerpoint 'slides' and converted to Adobe Acrobat (pdf) files - they can be viewed via your web browser with an Acrobat Reader 'plugin' or 'add-on', and re-sized to view the entire poster or sections of the whole.
Slide Presentations
Slide presentations were prepared originally as Microsoft Powerpoint presentations and converted to Adobe Acrobat (pdf) files - they can be viewed via your web browser with an Acrobat Reader 'plugin' or 'add-on', and viewed as slides in sequence.
