Georgia Introduces Poultry Science Curriculum for Schools

12/26/2023

Based on the Avian Academy that provides educational material for schoolteachers, the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Georgia has developed a curriculum for middle and high school students.  The courses are intended to encourage school students to consider careers in poultry production.

 

The point person for the CAES Department of Poultry Science, Jessica Fife, worked with her counterparts in the State Department of Education to establish curriculums in avian science and biotechnology.  The Georgia Agricultural Education Program now promotes education and supports classroom instruction to encourage student involvement.  The success of the avian science curriculum is now extending beyond Georgia as the program has been adopted by other states with significant poultry production.
