Novus to present 5 technical abstracts at PSA annual meeting

Novus researchers will present five technical abstracts at the 2016 Poultry Science Association (PSA) annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, which will be held on July 11-14. This event acts as an incubator for academics, scientists and technical professionals to gather and present solutions in the poultry industry.
