Poultry Digest is the only independent commercial publication delivering industry news to the layer (egg) and broiler chicken meat industries in Australia and New Zealand. We also publish information of other commercial poultry species like duck, turkey and quail.
The magazine covers new technologies plus scientific and equipment advances that contribute to increasing productivity while better managing costs.
Typical issues of concern to the poultry industry in Australia and New Zealand apart from profitability are food safety and consumer perceptions, biosecurity, potential threats from imports and growing market share in the face of competition from numerous other protein sources. Though we tend to focus on conventional large scale commercial broiler and layer operations we cater to the increasing interest for free range and other alternative poultry production systems. Grower stories are a mainstay of Poultry Digest editorial pages.
Pork Journal covers topics of vital interest to the pig industry such as feed, biosecurity, eating quality and consistency of pork, plus the improvement of profitability and production efficiency throughout the industry.
Australian pig farmers have to compete in a global market and the industry is constantly subject to pressure from imports in the processed sector and if market conditions are good it benefits from imports into key markets including Singapore Korea and Japan.
In recent years a prolonged drought, high value Australian dollar and pressure from imports have badly effected growers but in recent times a return to more normal seasonal conditions, lower feed costs and a real shortage of pork in the domestic market have returned better levels of profitability to the industry.
