Advanced Course in Poultry Management

As the name signifies, this is an advanced course in Poultry Management of 48 weeks duration. The basic eligibility is a graduate, preferably a science graduate. The earlier two courses basically deal with commercial layer and broiler farming. In those two courses, portion of Breeders (layer breeders/broiler breeders), Breeder Management & Hatchery Management are not included. This course is for people who intend to take up poultry on large scale or those who have/intend to maintain Breeder flocks as well as a hatchery. This course is divided into two sections of 24 weeks each. During the first session of 24 weeks, the trainees are at par with the trainees of Basic Commercial Poultry Management trainees i.e. they undergo the basic course. After the first session of 24 weeks and after two weeks break, the second session of 24 weeks starts, during which they are directly put in charge of a shed (layer or broiler) and depending upon the type of bird, the number of birds and the age of birds, they are given weekly targets as per the standard for the type of bird. They are expected to supervise the working/management of the shed and to deliver the production (number of eggs in case of layers or the weight gain in case of broilers as per standard). They are evaluated on the performance delivered by them vis- -vis the target given to them. If their performance is below standard they are encouraged to investigate possible reasons for lower performance and to discuss with the faculty members the possible remedial measures to improve the performance. In other words, they are trained in accountability of the performance and at managerial level. During the period they are also trained in Breeder Farm Management (layers and broilers) as well as in Hatchery Management. After completion of the programme they are expected to take up independent charge of a farm. As in case of earlier two programmes, they spend 50% of their time in layer farm and 50% in broiler farm, so that they can take up any farming depending upon their preference as well as need of the hour. The trainees have to appear for quizes,monthly exams and a final exam at the end of the course. They also have to deliver a seminar on the topic in Poultry during the training programme. In addition to monthly tests, they are evaluated on the performance of the farm work and seminars. They are also evaluated on the basis of meeting the weekly targets given to them. On successful completion of the training programme the trainees are given a Certificate signifying successful completion of their training programme.

This course is designed to thoroughly groom the trainee, in both theory and practise. The course syllabus covers an exhaustive range of topics, each being in-depth study. The practical orientation results in making the trainee an excellent planner, organiser and manager with emphasis on monitoring all aspects of farm management, financial planning including budgeting, inventory control, personnel management, etc. Course Contents: 1.
