A New Era for the Poultry Research Foundation

The Poultry Research Foundation (PRF) of The University of Sydney was established in 1958 to provide an interface between academic research and industry.

PRF’s contribution to the development of the Australian poultry and stockfeed industries has been far-reaching, covering not only science but also workforce development and the provision of leadership.

We have recently been given the green light to officially become a Research Centre within the University. The transition changes PRF from a Foundation deemed a fundraising body under Australian Consumer Law to a university research entity aligned with the poultry and allied industries. As a result, PRF will retain its name as well as the Industry Council as an advisory body.

Operation-wise, the new PRF will be more flexible and better resourced. Flagship events, such as the annual Australian Poultry Science Symposium (APSS) will still be organised by PRF. We will hold APSS 2025 (10-12 February 2025) on the beautiful campus of The University of Sydney.  We will reveal the topics and speakers in the coming weeks via this newsletter (Poultry@Sydney) as well as the PRF social media channels.
