Morgan Poultry Center Education

Education

Teaching activities take place during fall and spring semesters. As part of Poultry Techniques (AVS 120) in the fall, students raise broilers from day one until processing. They learn feeding, watering, and general poultry husbandry. Poultry Nutrition (AVS 375) teaches different types of feeding practices, ingredients, feed mixing, and actual feeding of birds. Both undergraduate and graduate students can get on-the-job training by working at the farm. Graduate students also have opportunities to conduct research at the farm year-round.

Research

The farm provides poultry of various species for support of research conducted by faculty and graduate students.  Such studies include nutrition, range management, and egg shell quality. Much of this research is conducted for and is supported by industry.
