Visit ATRP’s New Location, Booth 1609, at the 2009 International Poultry Expo

Georgia Tech’s Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) is excited about its plans to participate in the 2009 International Poultry Expo (IPE), scheduled for January 28-30 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. ATRP’s exhibit will highlight the program’s research advancements and display prototype systems that seek engineering solutions that enhance process efficiency and product safety in today’s poultry industry. Program researchers will be available to answer questions, and a program video and handouts will describe current projects.

The exhibit will be located in Section C2, Booth 1609.

The IPE is the world’s largest display of technology equipment, supplies, and services used in the production and processing of poultry and eggs.

Sponsored by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, funds earned at the International Poultry Expo are funneled directly back into the industry in the form of research grants, educational programs, communications, and technical assistance.
