Poultry Science Club

The Poultry Science Club is open to any person interested in poultry or other birds. The club, in conjunction with the Poultry Education Team, conducts incubation demonstrations at local schools and at the College of Veterinary Medicine Open House. Fund-raising is achieved by catering BBQ chicken dinners to various organizations. Poultry Science Club members participate in the Mississippi Poultry Association Annual Convention and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association International Poultry Expo. Each semester, the club hosts a cookout where the club members are joined by faculty and friends for food and conversation. Each fall during MSU homecoming, many of our alumni and friends return to campus and join us for food and fellowship.
