The mission of the National Poultry Technology Center is to improve bottom line profitability of the live production sector of the US poultry industry by providing timely applied research and education that contributes to increased efficiencies in housing, equipment, energy and environmental control.

The National Poultry Technology Center has many resources available to draw upon when developing solutions to problems or developing educational programs. Collaborative possibilities exist with all major units of Auburn University's teaching, research and extension divisions. In addition, faculty and staff of the National Poultry Technology Center have extensive collaborative relationships with agricultural and engineering faculties at most other land grant colleges and universities in the United States. Extensive relationships world wide with universities, research organizations, housing and equipment specialists, and poultry production personnel have made it possible for the National Poultry Technology Center to quickly identify technically and economically feasible solutions for complex problems facing the poultry grower.

All recommendations and educational information developed and disseminated by the National Poultry Technology Center are developed with a sense of urgency and the fact that the recommendations must be technically sound and economically viable.
