This event aims to develop participants’ abilities to make accurate observations, make and justify decisions, communicate industry terminology, understand U.S Department of Agriculture product standards, and recognize the economic importance of value-added products. It also encourages collaboration and the use of information technology in the poultry industry. Activities include evaluating live poultry, grading carcasses and eggs, identifying poultry parts, and completing a written exam.
