Dimapur, June 8 -- As Nagaland continues to depend heavily on imported poultry products despite growing local demand, Nagaland University has taken a step toward strengthening the state's production capacity by training aspiring poultry farmers and entrepreneurs in modern poultry production practices through a five-day hands-on training in poultry production technology.

During the programme, participants were trained on poultry housing, brooding and chick management, feeding practices, disease prevention, vaccination, record-keeping, and enterprise management.

The farmers' cell of the School of Agricultural Sciences (SAS), Nagaland University, Medziphema campus, organised the programme from June 1 to 5, a varsity release said today.
