Students externing with Hy-Line North America will have the opportunity to experience poultry medicine in a field setting. Focuses will be on preventative medicine and epidemiology in both flocks and hatcheries. Hands on experience will be evaluating vaccination protocols, reviewing historical health data and issues in a flock, developing treatment plans, and enhancing the understanding of the intersections between health management and husbandry.
Hy-Line North America and Hy-Line International employ six veterinarians within the continental United States and have a fully staffed laboratory with ELISA, PCR, salmonella enrichment, and other capabilities.
Student responsibilities will be Monday through Friday, mostly during normal business hours but with several overnight trips to locations. Student is expected to cover travel to and from the externship, but travel during the externship will be Hy-Line's responsibility.
