Working groups take the producer’s challenges into biosecurity, flock monitoring, labor, nutrition, genetics, and supply-chain coordination, testing how big each problem is, whether solutions perform consistently across farms and facilities, and whether they prevent enough loss to justify system-wide adoption. The aim is a clear case for the pilots, commercial models, and investments worth advancing.
Discussion themes:
- JPAI, biosecurity, and continuity of production
- Flock monitoring and earlier intervention
- Labor, automation, and everyday bird management
- Feed efficiency, gut health, and livability
- Disease resistance, heat tolerance, and genetic resilience
- Food safety, traceability, and supply-chain coordination

Poultry and egg businesses operate at speed and scale, where disease, labor disruption, and small performance losses can quickly become system-wide costs. Where is value being lost, why are current approaches falling short, and which problems are costly enough to justify a new solution?
