Course Information:
In recent years, more people are starting to raise small flocks of poultry in backyard urban settings.
Because of the small numbers of birds involved, they are often viewed more as pets than as production
animals, even though they are being kept primarily for eggs or meat. When these birds become injured
or ill, the owners are turning to their local family veterinarian for assistance, even though many
small animal practitioners have very little to no experience with poultry or with how to treat animals
that are being used in food production. This course is intended to help those veterinarians and their
technicians become more familiar with diagnosing and treating conditions of poultry commonly encountered
in the backyard setting.
