UC Poultry Web Site Draws National Attention

The University of California's Poultry Web Page has won accolades in a recent “Poultry Online” column of the industry publication Poultry Times. Ralph Ernst, Professor of Animal Science, was commended for his work in maintaining the site.

The information-rich site offers up data and links for expert and novice alike.  		Topics include dates of important avian meetings, practical tips on encouraging egg production, techniques for game bird management and avian disease prevention. Several publications can be downloaded directly from the site, which can be found at http://animalscience.ucdavis.edu/extension/avian/default.htm
