The Poultry Tech Summit returns to Atlanta, Georgia, November 3-5, 2025, as the in-person gathering for innovators, entrepreneurs and poultry industry professionals. As always, the highlight of the Summit promises to be the “Innovation Presentations,” which this year will highlight 13 new products in various stages of development that offer solutions for significant poultry industry challenges. These innovators are looking for partners to help with the further development and successful introduction of their innovations. This help could come from poultry producers partnering with field trials or in the form of financial investment from venture capitalists or other technology companies.
2 poultry product food safety innovations
Poultry meat bird producers are always looking for ways to improve the safety of the products they produce, while at the same time are being challenged to reduce water and chemical usage in processing. The Summit will have two presentations featuring systems for cleaning and reducing bacterial loads on carcasses and parts: one using an electrostatic sprayer, another using high-pressure micro droplets. Both systems have the potential to reduce bacterial load on ready-to-eat finished poultry meat products while also significantly reducing water and chemical usage.
2 novel poultry health treatments
Poultry producers have been tasked with reducing antibiotic usage while still seeking continuous improvement in flock health. The Summit will feature two non-antibiotic treatments/preventatives to help with challenging disease and foodborne pathogen issues. One innovation is a phage-base platform for control of bacteria in poultry. The other innovation presents an endolysin based treatment for controlling Clostridium septicum, a causative agent for necrotic dermatitis in turkeys. This system uses the same methodology developed for preventing necrotic enteritis in broilers.
Titles of other innovation presentations:
- The future of poultry is female: Only Lady Layer chicks
- Data driven poultry biosecurity through waste stream analysis
- Plasma-enabled wearable air curtain for personal respiratory protection
- Process monitoring on deboning lines
- Phosphorus absorption optimizer for poultry diets
- Achieving autonomy in harvest planning with AI and computer vision
- Scalable camera-based poultry monitoring
- Utilizing existing farm sensor data to identify triggering of the bird’s immune response
- MRI in the hatchery for evaluating embryo sex and other characteristics
