 Issue Kits

The Poultry & Egg Institute Issue Kits are resources addressing current topics which are important to the poultry and egg industry. The goal of each issue kit is to provide USPOULTRY members with current information on a specific topic based on available research, technology and best management practices.

Current Issue Kits Description:

POULTRY INDUSTRY WORKPLACE SAFETY - March 2009

This issue kit is available online. A CD version is available free-of-charge to USPOULTRY members ($50 for non-members) and can be ordered here.


  This Issue Kit outlines some of the many safety challenges the industry has faced over the years, a few of the interventions employed to address them, and some of the many educational endeavors undertaken and collaborations pursued with OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor), all with the goal of not just complying with safety regulations but tackling plant challenges head-on in a proactive and progressive manner. The progress that has been made and the successes that have been achieved need to be understood, appreciated, and continued.

ARSENICAL FEED ADDITIVES IN POULTRY FEED - September 2008

This Issue Kit is available to U.S. Poultry & Egg Association members only and may be ordered here.

Format: Windows PC only.

  Effective in controlling coccidiosis, roxarsone (3-Nitro 4 Hydroxy Phenyl Arsonic Acid) use results in improved bird health and animal welfare, which contributes to improved food safety and environmental sustainability. The benefits of continued use of roxarsone far outweigh the concerns expressed by the media and special interest groups. This Arsenic in Poultry Feed Issue Kit provides information discussing the objections and providing support for the continued use of Roxarsone by the poultry industry.
(Other Issue Kits will be added to the list as they are developed.)
