Scientific investigation of poultry counts as one of the main tasks. These research achievements can lead to improvements in the prevention of illness and in the treatment of sick animals. Altogether, this can help to prevent disease outbreaks. The insights gained from this work are essential in protecting animals - and by extension, humans - from diseases.
