Thursday-Special Bonus Lecture
“Formulating Diets for Birds - Getting the Balance Right.”
Dr. McDonald has offered to present a special pre-conference interactive lecture in
the Arizona lecture room for any attendees arriving early on Thurs. Jan. 24th on a first
come first seated basis.
The time will be 6:30pm – 9:30pm or 8pm – 11pm depending
on availability of space. Dr McDonald plans to use 'live' foods and scales, have people
talk about the diets that they use and show them where nutritional imbalances can occur.
She will cover key ingredients used in commercial formulations and how to interpret labels.
She hopes to make this a truly interactive experience rather than just a 'lecture'.
