Demonstrating Alterantive Poultry Production System in Tinian

Nearly all the goods in Tinian are imported and relatively expensive, with the meat usually frozen and containing preservatives. This proposal intends to move the trend toward fresh chicken and egg products, free of preservatives by using alternative technology through range poultry production systems. This will include reductions in usage of insecticides, commercial fertilizer or other inorganic compounds and maximize the use pasture rotation and other best management practices for producing free-range poultry and eggs. The project will showcase its finding for other producers through publications, producer guides, field days and workshops.
