Michael J. Wineland
Professor and Departmental Extension Leader
Educational Background:
B.S. (1968) University of Wisconsin-Madison
M.S. (1973) University of Wisconsin-Madison
Ph.D. (1980) University of Wisconsin-Madison
Extension Interests:
Extension program deals with issues related to the management of broiler breeder flocks and hatchery management. This includes the development of educational programming to assist industry answer present concerns and better understand how their management is impacting breeders and hatchlings. I organize and conduct a number of conferences and workshops:
North Carolina Broiler Breeder and Hatchery Management Conference; a one and one half day conference covering a variety of topics of current interest. It is held in Statesville NC in October.
NCSU Hatchery Management Workshop; a two day workshop for individuals who want to learn more about the developing embryo and how the hatchery can influence the embryo's development and subsequent chick or poult quality.
Research Interests:
My research interests complement my extension activities, developing an understanding of how embryo physiology is altered by incubational management and thus impacting performance of the hatchling in the grow-out house. Additional areas of interest include the understanding of early hen mortality in breeder flocks.
Teaching Interests:
Teaching interests include the mentoring of students in their Honors Research projects pertaining to the physiology of the embryo and neonatal hatchling. Additionally I am an instructor at the Midwest Consortium's Center of Excellence Summer School for Poultry Science at the University of Wisconsin, teaching Animal Science 511, Breeder and Hatchery Management.
