SUMMARY:A Novel Addition to Biosecurity: Proactive\, Continuous Pathogen Control Technology to Improve Poultry Operations
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nPathogen risk touches every stage of poultry production\, from hatchability and chick quality at the hatchery to Salmonella control in egg processing and beyond. Even small declines in hatchability\, chick quality\, or cull rate can compound quickly across a facility’s output\, driving real losses in performance and productivity. Elsewhere in operations\, a Salmonella event can trigger recalls and cost facilities millions in financial losses. Standard practices like formaldehyde and manual cleaning cycles leave gaps between cycles and struggle to reach airborne contamination in occupied spaces. That is why hatcheries worldwide are implementing proactive\, continuous\, pathogen control technology as an added layer of biosecurity. Julien Lenglet\, North America Poultry Consultant\, will present real-world applications and outcomes of DHP® technology and how the technology works 24/7 to reduce surface-level and airborne pathogens without disrupting operations or requiring area vacancy. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 8:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 2:00 PM BST (London) / 9:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nTypical applications of hatchery disinfectants\nPractical considerations for evaluating and integrating continuous pathogen control\nHow DHP technology works and is deployed to complement existing sanitation programs\nReal-world studies: effectiveness of DHP technology\, replacing formaldehyde\, ROI outcomes\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by Synexis and presented by WATTPoultry.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Swab: How to Build a Smarter Listeria EMP
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nYour Environmental Monitoring (EM) program is only as good as what you’re actually trying to find and why. EM is your best tool for verifying that Listeria controls are working. When you swab with the intent to find Listeria if it’s there\, you generate real signal: gaps in cleaning execution\, equipment that harbors risk\, conditions that won’t fix themselves. This is the kind of data that drives improvement on the plant floor. \nBut when you get a positive\, what happens next matters as much as the finding itself: a positive result is not the “seek” in seek and destroy. Before you remediate\, investigate; look at what the environment is telling you. Identify the contamination source and the transfer vectors. Only then will your corrective actions hold.

SUMMARY:How Middle Managers Shape Food Safety Culture and Risk Performance
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nA mature food safety culture is not built through technical systems alone; it emerges through people who feel heard\, empowered\, and responsible. \nMiddle management is an often-overlooked sub-group that plays a large part in determining the food safety culture\, execution\, and risk performance of your food business. The key to unlocking meaningful change in a company’s food safety and quality culture—and its organizational culture—does not necessarily come from the top down. In fact\, this power often lies with middle managers. \nDrawing on findings from social psychology\, organizational management\, risk management\, and real-world case studies\, industry and culture experts will show how food safety and quality effectiveness and culture are impacted by organizational structure and resulting behaviors. Register today to learn how the “middle-up-down” approach helps inform managerial interventions that measurably improve FSQ culture\, organizational culture\, and business strategy. \nAttendees will:   \n\nThe value middle managers bring to the table in being accountable for day-to-day food safety work and translating intent into on-job behaviors\nHow to develop a high-power mindset in middle managers to effect meaningful FSQ culture change and prevent food safety risks\nHow investing in middle managers improves both FSQ strategy implementation and accountability across all levels of the company

SUMMARY:Do More with Your Data: Practical Ways to Modernize Food Safety Testing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood safety teams are being asked to generate more meaningful information while managing limited resources\, increasing production demands\, and evolving retailer\, regulatory\, and consumer expectations. Strengthening a food safety program\, however\, does not have to mean more testing or adding complexity. \nThis webinar explores practical ways food processors can modernize sanitation verification and microbiological testing while keeping workflows simple and effective. We will examine common gaps in routine testing\, how to assess whether existing methods remain fit for purpose\, and how the data already being collected can be used to identify trends\, challenge assumptions\, and support continuous improvement. \nPractical examples will include total adenylate testing (ATP+ADP+AMP) to enhance hygiene verification and ready-to-use culture media to simplify routine indicator testing. The focus will be on getting more value from routine testing\, using better information to identify issues earlier\, guide action\, and make more confident food safety decisions. \nAttendees will learn how to: \n\nIdentify common gaps that can limit the effectiveness and efficiency of sanitation verification and routine microbiological testing\nSelf-evaluate testing methods and workflows\nExplore practical\, modern technologies\nTurn routine results into meaningful information using baselines\, trending\, appropriate action limits\, and continuous improvement
