Research that responds to industry needs 🤝 Extension that puts it into practice.

Meet Jinquan Wang ’15, Ph.D., a new faculty member in the Texas A&M Department of Poultry Science.
🔗 tx.ag/WangsJoinsPOSC

As a Research Assistant Professor and poultry processing and food safety specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Poultry Extension, Wang plans to build his program around direct engagement with poultry processors and the challenges they face.

His work will focus on foodborne pathogen control, food safety, regulatory compliance, and poultry product quality, while developing practical resources, training, and research-based solutions for the industry.

This new role is also a homecoming for Dr. Wang. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Poultry Science from Texas A&M, he continued his education and career at the University of Georgia and Auburn University before returning to Aggieland.

Help us welcome Dr. Wang back home to Aggieland! 🐔👍

🎓🐥 Time to get your chicks in a row!

Welcome back, Aggies! 💚 We’re excited to have our Poultry Science students back on campus and ready for another year of learning, growing, and making an impact!

And honestly… what better way to celebrate the first day back than with baby chicks and a photo op?! 🐣📸

Here’s to a new semester, new memories, and plenty of poultry along the way!

Welcome back, students! We’re so glad you’re here! 🐔🎓

The past two days have been a busy—and rewarding—two days for Team Poultry Science! 🐥

On Monday, our team validated and wing banded more than 7,200 broiler chicks for the State Fair of Texas Broiler Show. Then on Tuesday, 52 organizations picked up their chicks and headed home to begin the journey toward this year’s State Fair! 🏆🐔

We’re proud to play a part in this important outreach effort and to help provide opportunities for youth across Texas to learn, grow and show their hard work through poultry projects. ❤️

A big thank-you to everyone who helped make these two days a success!

🥚🍮 Egg-cited to celebrate National Vanilla Custard Day! 🍮🥚

Did you know eggs play an important role in creating the smooth, creamy texture of traditional custards? Egg proteins coagulate when heated, helping the custard transform from a liquid into a thick, delicious treat.

And that’s just one of the many ways eggs function in food products! 🥚✨

So today, enjoy a little custard and celebrate the incredible versatility of the egg! 💛

Boxed, labeled & ready to go! 📦🐥

Today’s assignment: make 100+ chick boxes and get them ready for next week’s wing banding event. ✔️

Our Extension student workers were busy assembling boxes, adding exhibitor labels, and getting wing bands organized and ready for the big day.

The chicks arrive Monday…we’re just getting everything else ready! 😉🐤

Learning doesn’t always happen in a classroom. 🐔📚

Our Poultry Science Extension student workers are taking poultry education on the road!

Recently, one of our student workers spent an hour with families at a Market Poultry Clinic in Austin County, sharing information to help youth and families feel more prepared for their market poultry projects.

From the classroom to the county clinic, we’re proud to see our students putting their knowledge into action and helping the next generation of poultry exhibitors succeed! 👏🐥

As a prelude to the Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course, veterinarians and county Extension agents recently took part in a three-hour poultry-focused continuing education program led by experts from across Texas A&M.

Drs. Morgan Farnell, Erin Edwards, Luise King, and Brandon Dominguez brought expertise from Poultry Science, the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, and Veterinary Large Animal Clinical Sciences to provide hands-on learning and discussion on:

🔹 The poultry industry
🔹 Common poultry diseases
🔹 Biosecurity practices
🔹 Postmortem examination techniques
🔹 Venipuncture training

The session provided an opportunity to strengthen poultry knowledge, build diagnostic skills, and connect expertise across disciplines—all to better serve Texas producers and the agriculture industry.

A special thank you to Dr. Tom Hairgrove for organizing this valuable continuing education opportunity!

We recently welcomed nearly 20 members of the Southwood 4-H Club to the Poultry Science Research Center for a hands-on summer learning experience!

Students explored careers in poultry science and got a taste of poultry judging through hands-on activities, including:

🥚 Candling and grading eggs
🍳 Examining broken out eggs to determine quality
🔎 Evaluating egg shells for exterior quality parameters
🐔 Comparing broilers and layers and their genetics
🐣 Exploring different stages of embryonic development

These activities helped students build poultry judging skills while becoming more informed consumers of eggs and poultry products.

We loved seeing their curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the day! 💛🐔
