The 6th Conference on Poultry Intestinal Health will be organized in Rome, Italy from 3rd to 5th April, 2019. The link to the website is http://www.ihsig.com/. Keynote presentations by internationally renowned speakers (http://www.ihsig.com/speakers-at-ihsig-2019/) will provide the latest scientific information on this subject and are the backbone for a diverse program (http://www.ihsig.com/6th-ihsig-symposium-program/) in which there will be plenty of room for short communications, discussion and networking. Taking into account suggestions of the audience of previous sessions, we have created a 3 day program with much more time for networking between the scientific sessions. To have a more diverse set of topics, the conference will be organized in sessions that will cover the most important topics in poultry gut health, being:
- Gut health diagnostics
- Foodborne pathogens
- Pathogenesis of intestinal disease
- Parasitic diseases of poultry
- Immunity
- Nutrition and feed additives to control gut health
- Other gut health topics
The conference will take place in the Auditorium Del Massimo (http://www.ihsig.com/venue2019/), an outstanding location with excellent conference facilities and highly specialized and experienced staff, easy to reach from Fiumicino Airport and with good access to the historical centre. Professional catering will be provided by the staff of the conference centre to yield a relaxing and delicious atmosphere.
Organization of the conference will require collaborations between the organizers and the poultry industry, and we have been proud to have a variety of sponsors in the previous editions, already have important sponsors in the Rome 2019 edition, and thus the sponsorship packages are still open: http://www.ihsig.com/sponsorship-2019/. We hope to be able to again have the support of the industrial partners to organize this event, and already want to thank the partners for their previous and upcoming support.
