It has been nearly 50 years since the last World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) Congress was held in France.

"Gut health is instrumental for improved performance and higher quality results no matter which step of the production process you're talking about," notes Marc Decoux, Executive Manager, Global Poultry Marketing for Novus. "Novus specialists look at flock health through the lens of nutrition planning and ingredient management. The best offense is a good defense and Novus can provide solutions that target all the issues that will ultimately improve poultry health and productivity."

Novus has prepared an informative presentation schedule that begins on Tuesday, 20 August, at 11:00 a.m. with the first of two planned oral abstract discussions entitled, "Investigation of the effect of organic acid water treatment on colonization of broiler chickens with Campylobacter spp during rearing and thinning." The second oral abstract presentation, "Effect of dietary protein and protease supplementation on performance and gut health of broiler chicks," will follow later that same day at 3:45 p.m.
