Poultry industry diagnostics transitions to UCVM
Airdrie, ALBERTA — A new era in the evolution of one of Canada’s leading poultry-focused veterinary consulting practices is underway.
Poultry Health Services based in Airdrie, Alberta, is following through on the industry’s long envisioned plans to transition out of the component of its business focused on providing diagnostic service on contract with the province’s Poultry Industry Boards. Effective March 31, 2021, the industry contract will be serviced by the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM).
The shift enables Poultry Health Services to now focus more heavily on its innovative model of enhanced integrated approaches – including leading-edge high-ROI opportunities – that have become primary priorities for serving its rapidly expanding customer base across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
“We would like to thank the Alberta industry for its support – it has been our privilege to fulfill this contract for many years,” says Dr. Tom Inglis, Founder and Managing Partner of Poultry Health Services. “The understanding has always been that it would eventually shift to a university or government role when the time was right. That time has now come and we wish UCVM well in handling this role for the industry.”
