Teaching

The staff of the Poultry Research Unit, as members of the Faculty of Veterinary Science are responsible for a number of undergraduate courses. Lectures and practical classes in all aspects of poultry science and production are given to students of the Faculties of Agriculture and Veterinary Science. The facilities used in these courses are located in the Foundation Unit at Camden.

The Poultry Research Foundation offers an annual prize to the final year student in Animal Veterinary BioScience course who demonstrates the greatest proficiency in poultry science.

2007 Winner:
Jerry Liu - The effects of dietary fatty acids on the production performance of Pekin ducks - CRC Honours Student Scholarship.

Postgraduate students have contributed substantially to the research programs conducted over the years, and many now occupy positions where they service the Australian poultry industry directly, or indirectly.

Many of the students have been from overseas and have undertaken their degrees, often as part of official Australian aid programs to developing countries. Their return home has facilitated the development of an international network with common interests in research and education in poultry science.

Current Students:
