Poultry Science
Contents
Introduction
Poultry Science is taught as a component of the Bachelor of Rural Science and Bachelor of Agriculture as well as various certificate and diploma courses at UNE. Apart from being included in the contents of introductory units, there are two specialist units in poultry science; one on physiology, and the other on production issues, which are offered at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Why Study Poultry Science at UNE?
The University of New England is a national and world leader in poultry science, with excellent facilities for teaching and research into various areas of the subject. Our key strengths are in nutrition, microbiology, calorimetry and digestive physiology. Animal Health and Welfare is another poultry group which specialises in health. We have excellent animal holding facilities ranging from mini-brooder rooms to semi-commercial houses for broiler and layer studies. We are supported by excellent laboratories for nutrition, physiology and microbiology. Students also have the opportunity of interacting with industry leaders, some of who come to teach into the Poultry CRC-funded units on poultry physiology and poultry production.
