The World Poultry Foundation (WPF) has released free training materials to help poultry farmers ensure their chickens are properly fed and watered.
The training module is part of a series released by WPF to help Africa’s small-scale poultry farmers improve their farming methods and incomes. Available for free in multiple languages, the materials are presented as videos, infographics, and flip charts for use by training and development organisations.

Randall Ennis, CEO of the World Poultry Foundation says: “This module is designed to help small-scale poultry producers grow healthy birds that improve the nutritional status of their families and communities, as well as improve their incomes. The launch of the series shows our commitment to supporting inclusive and sustainable poultry value chains that benefit both farmers and consumers.”
