AgriFutures Chicken Meat RD&E: Recent Episodes
Chicken Meat Extension
Welcome to the AgriFutures Chicken Meat RD&E podcast channel. Hear from our talented researchers about how their work benefits chicken meat production in Australia.
In this episode, we talk with Chris Aitken about Exoflare People, an easy to use biosecurity app available for the Australian chicken meat industry.

In this episode we talk with Peta Taylor from The University of Melbourne about her project on optimising meat chicken range use.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Mukti Barua from Massey University about the work she has completed on the standardised ileal amino acid digestibility of common feed ingredients used in poultry diets.
For more information on Dr Barua's research, links to some of her published papers are outlined below.
- An investigation into the influence of age on the standardized amino acid digestibility of wheat and sorghum in broilers
- Influence of age on the standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of corn and barley in broilers
- Basal ileal endogenous amino acid flow in broiler chickens as influenced by age
In this episode, we talk to Dr Peta Taylor from The University of Melbourne about her recently completed project that looked at using maternal hen vocalisations to modify the behaviour of meat chickens.
In episode, we talk with Dr Mahmoud Kahlil about the research he conducted at Massey University that investigated the AME of common poultry feed ingredients in chickens of different ages.
In this episode, we talk with Fran Copely from Integrity Ag & Environment about the carbon footprint of the Australian chicken meat industry and options available to minimise emissions.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Sandra Sapats from the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness and the review that she conducted that looked at the effectiveness of disinfectants used in Australia and their effectiveness against Infectious Bursal Disease virus.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Sandra Sapats from the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) in Geelong to discuss the work she has done the monitoring and surveillance of Infectious Bursal Disease virus (IBDV) in Australia.
In this episode, we talk with Professor Steve Walkden-Brown from the University of New England on some of his research that has looked at the role of using dust in infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) epidemiology, diagnostics and control in poultry.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Kapil Chousalkar from the University of Adelaide about alternative sanitisers for use in commercial poultry production.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Sonia Liu from the University of Sydney about the ideal amino acid ratios for wheat and sorghum based reduced-protein meat chicken diets. This work was part of a larger project that looked at 'Optimising amino acid profiles and energy in reduced protein diets'.
In this episode, we talk with Dr Sonia Liu from the University of Sydney about her latest project on 'Optimising amino acid profiles and energy in reduced protein diets'.
In this podcast Eugene McGahan gives an overview of the National planning and environment guidelines for establishing meat chicken farms, published in December 2021 by AgriFutures Australia. More information about the guidelines is available on the Chicken meat RD&E website.
In this episode, Dr Carolyn de Koning from the South Australian Research and Development Institute, talks about her research into forage plant options for free range chicken meat farms.
In this episode, we talk to Dr Jeff Downing from the University of Sydney about using electrolytes as a supplement to alleviate heat stress in meat chickens.
In this episode, we talk with Steven Rice from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Queensland, about his research on using mycopesticides to treat darkling beetles (lesser mealworm) in meat chicken sheds.
In this episode, Dr Peter Selle from the Poultry Research Foundation with The University of Sydney, talks about his research into reduced crude protein diets and the importance of the essential amino acid threonine.
Reducing the amount of crude protein in poultry diets has many benefits. In this episode, Dr Peter Selle from the Poultry Research Foundation, within the University of Sydney, talks about some of these benefits.
In this episode, we speak with Alex Howard from the South Australian Research and Development Institute, Department of Primary Industries, about why it is important to alter your control methods depending on the type of rodent you have on your poultry farm.
In this episode, we speak with Alex Howard (South Australian Research and Development Institute, Department of Primary Industries) specifically about new and different options currently available for rodent control or new options being researched.
In this episode, we speak with Dr Rod Jenner on his mass disposal project and why it is of particular importance for Australia's poultry industries.
