2.1.5. Staff training

Intensive poultry farming and related industries require both skilled and unskilled staff. Skilled staff must have the necessary knowledge and aptitude to handle the many techniques specific to the activity in question: poultry farming, feed milling, hatchery, abattoir.

It is obvious that the skills of a foreman in a feed milling unit are different from those of a head poultryman. In the same way, managing a broiler breeding farm requires more qualifications and experience than a layer or broiler unit. Professional training centres for the staff needed in the industry are found in several countries. The addresses of some training centres can be found at the end of this guide. Staff training costs should not be overlooked when drawing up a poultry farming project.
