Poultry Production is one of the many production courses offered in the Animal Sciences curriculum. Over the course of the semester, students experience the broiler production system from start to finish. Students are responsible for managing their birds from their first day of life until processing day when students turn their hard work into a delicious product. After processing their birds, students have the opportunity to visit the Tyson poultry processing facility in Sedalia to understand the impressive amount of product moved on a daily basis in the industry. Students wrap up the semester presenting their capstone projects while enjoying their University-raised chicken. The opportunity to work with live birds at each stage of life gives these students insight and valuable hands-on experience in each step of the industry.
