Feeding the future

At CAES, we are committed to innovating the field and feeding the world’s growing population.

Poultry Science

Georgia is the largest poultry producer in the world and the University of Georgia has been working to support the state’s robust poultry industry for decades. Research from our poultry science department makes production safer, healthier and more efficient.

CAES is proud to support the poultry industry through the construction of a new poultry science building on UGA’s South Campus. The new facility will have cutting-edge research labs and collaborative learning spaces to support the largest sector of agriculture in Georgia.
