Pilgrims Pride (Sanford, NC)

Description of Elective Experience

We are a poultry company growing broilers to feed communities around the United States. We grow both parent stock and broilers. We have a veterinary team of 5 that oversees the health, welfare, and biosecurity of these birds.

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?

We expect students to be flexible and work on a range of topics. We may preform necropsies, welfare audits, sick flock visits, or more during their time with us. We are primarily farm, plant, or hatchery based. Students will apply their critical thinking skills and poultry knowledge to help highlight challenges and solutions to illness and risk factors.
