The Poultry Innovation Partnership (PIP) has been awarded $400,000 by Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) to support innovation adoption in the Alberta poultry industry.

The partnership is a consortium of Alberta Chicken Producers, Alberta Hatching Egg Producers, Alberta Turkey Producers, Burnbrae Farms, Egg Farmers of Alberta, Egg Farmers of Canada, Government of Alberta, Maple Leaf Foods, Peavey Mart and the University of Alberta.

A PIP release said the project will help the industry identify key knowledge gaps within Alberta, reduce duplication of research efforts and strengthen producer, public and private partnerships in identifying and delivering on research and extension priorities.
