Nineteen students from Land-Grant universities in the U.S. and Harper Adams University in the U.K. completed nine-week internships from May 22nd to July 27th at Aviagen production facilities. Students participated in aspects of poultry breeding including quality assurance, hatchery management, flock health and production planning. Farms in Alabama, Tennessee and New York provided hands-on experience.
Amanda Williams, Senior Human Resources Business Partner for Aviagen stated, "To breed the best we need the best that’s why we value our up-and-coming poultry professionals and are committed to providing them with the skills and insight necessary for success in poultry".
