President’s Welcome 

Welcome to the 98th Annual Meeting 

of the Poultry Science Association 

3 

The Poultry Science Association Board of Directors 

and I want to extend to you our warmest welcome. 

The Board of Directors considers the coordination 

of a quality annual meeting to foster the professional 

growth of our members to be one of its most 

fundamental responsibilities to the Association. This 

98th annual Poultry Science Association meeting 

builds on the traditions and successes of past meetings 

and promises to be informative, educational, and fun. 

In addition to the formal sessions, there will be time 

to interact with colleagues, develop collaborations, 

discuss research ideas, renew old friendships, and 

establish new ones. 

Patricia “Scotti” Hester chaired our Annual Meeting 

Program Committee this year and has done an 

exceptional job putting together an outstanding program. I am excited about the theme 

of this year’s meeting, “The University and Industry Connection: Building Bridges 

for our Future.” It is particularly appropriate that this year’s meeting is being held in 

the Research Triangle where such partnerships have set the standard. The scientific 

sessions are going to be fantastic. The impact of the research reported this week will be 

significant and will continue to build links between our universities and our industry. 

Scotti and her committee have chosen certain papers from those our members submitted 

to be highlighted as the first paper in some sessions. We are excited about this special 

recognition of our members’ research and expect this will become a fixture in future 

meetings. 

The symposia that have been planned this year will be extraordinary. You will not want 

to miss the following: 

• Global Views of New Agriculture: Food Energy and the Environment 

Symposium, 

• Tomorrow’s Poultry: Genomics, Physiology, and Well-Being Keynote 

Symposium, 

• Private Sector and GMOs: Current Realities and Near-Term Objectives 

WPSA Lecture, 

• Student Workshop on Dos and Don’ts of Writing Pubs, and 

• National Extension Workshop—What Is Needed to Improve University 

and Industry Collaboration 

I want to thank Scotti and her Program Committee for their selfless efforts on our 

behalf. Please take a minute to express your appreciation when you run into them this 

week:

Chris Ashwell, General Program Chair-Elect (2010) 

Amy Batal, General Program Chair-Elect (2011)

We are very grateful to Susan Cantor for the PSA quilt featuring logos from past 

annual meetings. The quilt will be raffled off at the awards banquet. Be sure to take 

this opportunity to support the PSA Foundation and its projects by buying lots 

of raffle tickets. Bill Saylor and the Foundation will be announcing some additional 

opportunities to provide support for enhanced services to our members. 

During these difficult economic times, I want especially to thank our sponsors for 

their support. Putting on a high-quality meeting would not be possible without their 

generosity. If you have an opportunity, please thank them on behalf of PSA. A complete 

list of sponsors may be previewed in your program booklets and on the signage located 

at the registration desk. 

Thanks also to Sam Pardue and the faculty, staff, and students of North Carolina 

State University. It is great going back to our roots and having the annual meeting in a 

university town. We appreciate the hospitality our “Wolfpack” friends have provided. 

Finally, I want to make a special point of expressing appreciation to our Executive 

Director, Jim Kessler, for his outstanding work coordinating this meeting. None of us 

know all the thousands of details Jim deals with in assuring the success of our meeting. 

He handles all with skill and dedication. We are indeed fortunate to have him working 

for us. Others who have been key contributors to organizing the logistics of the meeting 

are Debi Seymour, Susan Pollock, Mary Swenson, and our new Assistant Executive 

Director, Jon Cole. 

The PSA Board of Directors and I wish for you the very best this week. Enjoy your 

stay in Raleigh, and have a great meeting! 

—Michael P. Lacy, PSA President

interest in the field of poultry science; however, the difference between the member and 

nonmember registration fee makes it very attractive to join PSA. Members also receive 

other discounts throughout the year, making PSA membership both cost effective and 

beneficial. A PSA membership application is included in this booklet, or you may join 

online (https://secure.fass.org/join_PSA.asp). 

Abstract Book 

Abstract books will not be printed this year; all registrants will receive one CD with 

registration.

PSA 2009 Special Events 

Opening Reception and Session 

This year’s opening session will take place at the Sheraton Hotel Oak Forest Ballroom. 

Please plan to attend to get a great start for the 98th Poultry Science Annual Meeting. 

An opening reception will be held in the Oak Forest Prefunction Area from 5:00 to 

6:00 pm. The ice cream social will follow immediately after the opening program in The 

Gallery of the Sheraton Hotel. 

PSA BBQ 

Come and join us for the most-attended event of the week, the 2009 PSA BBQ. Share 

a meal, enjoy the sites, and get reacquainted with old friends. This year’s picnic will 

be held at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds, Holshouser Building, from 6:00 pm 

to 10:00 pm. Shuttle service will be provided starting at 5:30 pm, with return service 

beginning at 8:00 pm. Please meet in the Sheraton Hotel lobby or the Clarion Hotel 

State Capital starting at 5:30 pm. Tickets are required for this event. Along with North 

Carolina BBQ cuisine, The Embers, one of the best known “Beach Music” bands in 

the region, will provide entertainment. Beach music, also known as Carolina beach 

music, is a regional genre that developed from various musical styles of the forties, 

fifties, and sixties. These styles ranged from big band swing instrumentals to the more 

raucous sounds of blues/jump blues, jazz, doo-wop, boogie, rhythm and blues, reggae, 

rockabilly, and old-time rock and roll. Beach music is closely associated with the style 

of swing dance known as the shag, or the Carolina shag, which is also the official state 

dance of both North Carolina and South Carolina. They will play after the BBQ. 

Fun Run 

This year’s Fun Run will take place on the North Carolina State University campus. 

Vans will be available to transport runners from the Sheraton Hotel and Clarion Hotel
