Poultry Husbandry BAG208
Learn to Manage Poultry for Profit, Pleasure or Home Egg Production Of all livestock enterprises, poultry can be the least expensive and least demanding enterprises to set up. Whether a small flock for home use or a start up commercial farm, you don't need large acreage, and you can start seeing results from production much faster than you might see with other types of animal production.  Comment from a former ACS Student: "I work in farm animal welfare (on a chicken campaign).  It didn't make sense to work on a campaign about a subject I knew nothing about.  The amount of research I did for each assignment taught me so much more than I ever could have learned on my own... I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this course and dealing with your school.  I got answers quickly, and help was always available.  You don't always find that in a correspondence school.  My experience has been so positive I will be signing up for another course shortly".  Hindy, UK. The course covers all aspects of poultry care and management including: Terminology, Breeds, Nutrition, Diseases In Poultry, Layers, Broilers, Incubation, Brooding, Record Keeping, Economics & Marketing. A comprehensive course for both home chicken raising and farm workers.
