Mission
Poultry Health Management personnel are committed to TEACHING, RESEARCH, and OUTREACH (service and extension/engagement) programs responsive to present and future needs of students, poultry and allied industries, the veterinary profession, and scientific communities. We provide undergraduate, veterinary, and postgraduate instruction in poultry health. Our educational program is based on traditional foundations of poultry medicine (pathology, microbiology, medicine, and production) and on allied disciplines (communications, economics, biotechnology, epidemiology, information management, and systemic analysis). Outreach includes:
- Providing clinical services to clients, industry, and government through problem solving and consultation.
- Conducting basic and applied research on poultry health and production with an emphasis on emerging problems affecting the North Carolina poultry industry.
- Offering continuing education programs for poultry health professionals.
- Ongoing expansion of a poultry education resource center based on a multimedia digital library for development of distance learning and teaching support.
