History
The Arkansas Poultry Federation was established in Little Rock in 1954 as a non-profit trade organization to represent the poultry and egg industries in the state. In 1998, the office consolidated with Oklahoma and Missouri to become “The Poultry Federation”. We continue to operate as a trade organization, representing poultry and egg, with offices now in Little Rock, AR, Jefferson City, MO, and Oklahoma City, OK. A state-of-the-art poultry diagnostic laboratory located in Fayetteville, AR, is also a part of our organization.
