The poultry center serves teaching, research, and extension activities.
To support these activities, the poultry building can house chickens in
battery brooder pens, cages, or floor pens. Other parts of the building
include a teaching laboratory, equipment to mix feed, a room for
incubation, and a student apartment.
Teaching is supported in several ways. Activities that use poultry or
poultry products can be completed by students in the teaching
laboratory. Animals and products can also be transported to other
classes on campus. Animal housing is available for classes with
management projects that use meat or egg type chickens.
The poultry center supports research of faculty members on campus and at
other universities. Poultry are available as animals for research,
generally experiments planned by faculty on campus. Experiments designed
by graduate and undergraduate students may also be completed with
poultry at the center. Fertile eggs produced at the center meet the
research needs on campus and at other universities.
Extension activities also use poultry center resources. Fertile eggs and
small incubators are available for chick hatches in area schools.
Resources needed for 4-H and FFA poultry activities are often supplied
by the poultry center.
