Urban pet poultry ownership is growing, increasing the need for companion-animal veterinarians trained in avian medicine. A new one-day course aims to equip vets with essential pet poultry knowledge for better public health and animal well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Avian Health
  • Urban Ecology

Background:

  • Urban backyard poultry keeping is an increasing trend in the US.
  • Companion-animal veterinarians often lack experience with pet poultry, classifying them traditionally as production animals.
  • This gap limits access to veterinary care for urban pet poultry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a continuing education course for veterinarians on pet poultry medicine.
  • To address the growing need for specialized veterinary care for urban companion poultry.
  • To enhance veterinarians' ability to manage avian diseases and support public health.

Main Methods:

  • A focused one-day training course was developed for veterinarians.
  • Curriculum included poultry examination, common diseases, treatments, breeds, behavior, nutrition, and husbandry.
