Are you interested in learning about how poultry goes from the farm to the fork? Have you ever wanted to learn more about Poultry and meet with professionals in the industry? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, join us at the Don Tyson Center for Agricultural Sciences in Fayetteville, AR for POULTRY 101!

POULTRY 101 is a three-day, hands-on workshop that introduces participants to the production and processing factors that impact final product quality. The University of Arkansas hosts the program in top notch facilities, and you do not want to miss out!

Day one and two will be full days running from 8 am to 5 pm. There will be classroom sessions as well as laboratory sessions. Some topics to be discussed include the history of the poultry industry, poultry processing techniques, cutting and deboning activities, curing and smoking, battering and breading activities, functional ingredients and marination, and discussing mechanically deboned meat and emulsions. Day three is scheduled from 8 am to 12 pm, focusing on portioning, food safety, and product evaluation.
