Expertise
The poultry industry is experiencing unprecedented growth – in the past decade alone, global poultry production has risen by almost 40%, owing to a growing demand for what is a comparatively cheap, protein-rich, and versatile food source.
According to the FAO, increasing population, greater purchasing power, and urbanisation have been strong drivers of this growth, and the popularity of broiler meat and eggs has triggered sweeping industry changes through advances in breeding, genetic editing, new feed strategies, new slaughter techniques, and a general intensification and industrialisation of farming.
The day-to-day management of poultry products is extremely complex, and requires an in-depth understanding of animal feed requirements, environmental controls, biosecurity risk management, storage, and transportation.
