禁漫天堂 Extension provides educational and service-related programs for commercial poultry producers, allied industry representatives and small flock producers to enhance production and economic efficiencies while maintaining the state's competitive position in poultry production.
Broilers and eggs are Georgia's two largest agricultural commodities, making up nearly 40 percent of the state's production value.?
While per-capita chicken consumption has doubled since 1978, Georgia's production has tripled. Some of the factors that make chicken one of America's favorite foods are its nutritional and health advantages, price and economic value, expanding availability and endless variety of new, great-tasting and convenient ways to prepare chicken products.
