Welcome to the
Atlantic Poultry Research Institute!

The poultry industry is one of the most dynamic of all the livestock industries in modern agriculture. As the industry changes, so too must the scope and focus of poultry research. Research conducted and supported by industry, government and educational institutions have contributed to the incredible changes to the poultry industry over the years.

The Atlantic Poultry Research Institute (APRI) was formed in 1988 to address the concerns of the poultry industry in the Atlantic region by conducting poultry research and training poultry personnel. APRI represents all sectors of the Atlantic poultry industry, including egg, chicken, turkey, hatchery, hatching egg, processing, and feed manufacturing. For the egg, chicken, turkey and hatchery sectors, research priorities are updated annually and can be found under the research tab.

APRI’s goal is to facilitate the process of accessing industry funds for researchers that in turn allows them to leverage the additional funding required to conduct the research project.
