PSA Interpretive Summaries

Every month, PSA takes a popular paper from Poultry Science or The Journal of Applied Poultry Research and creates an interpretive summary of that paper. These summaries provide a condensed version of the study, the results, and how the findings can be applied to the industry. Each summary links to the published paper in Open Access for further reading.

Interpretive Summaries are officially announced monthly on the second Wednesday in the PSA Postings Newsletter. Not receiving the newsletter, but want to? Subscribe here!
