For almost a century, since its founding in 1908, PSA’s member scientists
have contributed through their research to the growth of the poultry industry
and the development of safer and more nutritious food products for the
consumer. Throughout this period, PSA has served – and it continues
to serve – as one of the principal clearinghouses and publishers
of basic and applied poultry research in the world.
The application of research findings published in PSA’s journals
has been and remains a major contributor to the rapid growth and maturation
of the meat and egg industries. In addition, poultry-related research has
made substantial contributions to the overall understanding of human health
and nutrition.
Membership
PSA’s current membership comprises approximately 3,500 educators,
scientists, extension specialists, administrators and producers worldwide.
