Through dedicated initiatives, we aim to nurture and encourage young talents in the field of poultry by providing them with valuable resources and expertise. Our team collaborates with students, offering guidance on poultry selection, nutrition, health, and handling techniques to ensure their birds are well-prepared for the shows.
