Building on the foundational skills introduced at NQF Level 1, the Poultry Production qualification at Level 2 develops a more capable and independently operating poultry production worker — one who takes personal responsibility for their work quality, applies good production practices with consistency, and begins to develop the technical understanding that supports progression into supervisory roles.
At this level, you will deepen your competence in the core areas of poultry production: feed and water management, disease prevention and biosecurity protocols, mortality management and record keeping, environmental control in production houses, and the handling and grading of poultry products. You will also develop a more thorough understanding of the biological and nutritional needs of poultry at different production stages, enabling you to identify problems early and apply appropriate responses.
