Backyard/Niche Poultry Medicine and Welfare :
Backyard Poultry Health and Discussing Poultry Welfare Issues with Your Clients
Saturday, June 1, 2013
Backyard/niche poultry flocks are becoming more common for a variety of reasons. Veterinary care for these populations presents unique challenges because it involves individual and population medicine as well as pet and food animal considerations. The presentation will cover some common management, disease, welfare, and legal/regulatory issues associated with small poultry flocks. Other poultry related questions and discussions will be welcome as time allows.
The objectives are to 1) provide basic tools to participants so that they may be able to consider including poultry clients in their practice and 2) to provide background to facilitate discussion of poultry welfare issues as a veterinarian.
