The Bachelor of Poultry Science (often housed under broader Animal Science or Animal Production departments) at Turkish universities delivers a four-year education focused on the science and practice of poultry husbandry. The curriculum covers theoretical and practical aspects of poultry management, health, nutrition, breeding, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and production technologies. Students receive instruction in relevant biology, genetics, biochemistry (animal nutrition), agricultural economics, and meat technology. Specialized courses in poultry husbandry, breeding techniques, reproductive biology, feed preparation, and animal welfare prepare graduates for technical roles in the poultry industry. The program blends classroom instruction with field-based laboratories and research, often using facilities such as animal research coops, hatcheries, and specialized feed labs. Graduates typically find employment in government agricultural agencies, private farms, poultry product companies, cooperatives, or establish their own enterprises. The degree also provides a solid foundation for careers in food safety, veterinary consultancy, feed production, and further postgraduate studies. Practical training is prioritized, preparing students for real industry needs and equipping them with current knowledge about genetic improvement and production sustainability[1][3][5].
