About

Published by Feeks Media LLC, Modern Poultry is an independent news website focused on live production. It covers everything from health, feed and nutrition to housing, welfare and food safety.

While Modern Poultry primarily targets decision-makers in live production — veterinarians, nutritionists, production managers, welfare specialists and food safety experts — its editorial content also interests researchers, academicians, students and members of allied industry.

As you’ve probably noticed, Modern Poultry looks and feels different than other industry websites. The developers wanted to create a clean, calm, engaging, clutter-free, editorial environment that’s conducive to learning and sharing.

Product News

Modern Poultry is happy to consider news releases from all companies (sponsors and non-sponsors) for its Product News section. Claims about a product’s performance or value should be supported by documented studies or field experience, not personal opinions. Please send news releases and relevant images to our managing editor. Companies submitting news releases assume full responsibility for their accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Artificial intelligence

It is Modern Poultry’s editorial policy not to publish content generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The editors will consider using images generated by AI if it helps Modern Poultry’s audience develop a better understanding of a technical subject or if biosecurity concerns prevented photographers from capturing onsite images to complement a story. Modern Poultry will let readers know when AI images are used.

Translate tool

The Translate tool in the upper right corner of the website is provided as an aid to readers, but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Always check with a recognized poultry production professional who is familiar with your flock before initiating new medical treatments, feed formulations or other management protocols.
