Poultry Science

Poultry Science teaches people how to raise and manage healthy chickens, turkeys, and ducks for eggs or meat. Scholars learn to apply principles of biology and chemistry to ameliorate productivity. They study animal nutrition and food science. In addition to furnishing an excellent source of nutritional food, poultry exploration has also made significant contributions to our understanding of numerous basic principles of biology. Advances in mortal nutrition, genetics, immunology, experimental biology, toxicology, biotechnology, and health have often been made possible by the use of avian models. Cravens, ducks, guinea fowl, geese and clunkers can be found in all types of poultry systems, both large and small. But pheasants, quail and ostriches are nearly simply found in large- scale systems.
