Information about the Course:
Poultry is the fastest growing agrobased enterprise in India. There is good domestic and export demand for poultry meat and eggs. With less land and water, this enterprise can be started. Similarly there is contract system developed by many private companies which has solved the problem of marketing. However, many times with less knowledge and information, youths are starting this enterprise resulting to failure of this enterprise. Therefore, there is need to get the knowledge, skills and information of poultry management.

Outcome:
After completion of course trainees can start their own poultry unit for layer or broiler production or can start commercial production of improved poultry. Besides contract farming can also be started.
