  Poultry sector set to soar
  Nov 4, 2013, 4:14pm
  According to Dr Graeme Park , general manager of the Scottish poultry genetics business Aviagen, the Irish poultry sector is primed for further growth over the coming years.
  He told AgriLand that, on a global basis, 60 billion broiler chickens will be processed for meat production in 2013. "This figure is currently rising at the rate of one billion birds per annum," he added.
  But Park went on to point out that there is no room for complacency. "The challenge remains that of producing chicken at the lowest possible price while, at the same time, getting the best possible price from the market place," he stressed.
