Research
From Poultry Hub
Research activities associated with commercial poultry production in Australia are funded from a variety of sources, including the poultry industries. Organisations such as the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC Chicken Meat Research Program), the Australian Egg Corporation (AECL) and the Poultry CRC then allocate these funds into key research areas. Research is conducted at both state and federal agencies and university institutions.Poultry-related research in Australia
