Poultry Lab Field Trip
by Lauren Chambers, Autumn Coley, and Dillon Aschwege
The students of Banks County High School had a field trip to the poultry lab this year on March 29, 2018. What is a poultry lab, though? The purpose of poultry labs are to test chickens for consumption. They make sure the chickens can’t get you sick from being sick themselves. The students that went on the trip got to see where poultry scientists tested for salmonella and bird flu. Here’s Lauren Chambers to tell you about her experience.
Q: Why did you decide to go on this trip?
A: "Because I am personally very interested in Poultry Science. I want to work in a lab setting and test diseases and things like that."
Q: What was it like and what kind of things did you get to see?
A: "It was cool. We got to see where they tested for things like bird flu. We also got to see the lab where they cut open chickens,and to take samples from them."
Q: Would you suggest other people to go next year if given the opportunity?
A: "If you’re interested in lab settings and testing things like that, you should definitely go."
The Poultry Lab is definitely important for our health's sake. There are many different job opportunities there, so looking into this line of work would be a very new and educational experience.
