	NC 4-H'rs travel to the National 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference November 17th, 2009 - November 20th, 2009 Louisville, KY
	The National 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference recognizes 4-H members who have excelled in their state 4-H poultry learning activities. The poultry judging contests teaches participants to make decisions in an orderly manner, use reasoning skills and to communicate decisions. They also learn to use USDA grading criteria to determine quality of ready-to-cook poultry and eggs. In the egg preparation demonstration contest, contestants must prepare an egg dish, demonstrate presentation skills and incorporate knowledge of the egg industry, egg quality and nutrition. The avian bowl is a double elimination contest for state teams patterned after other knowledge bowls. Contestants must have a comprehensive knowledge of subject matter for several species of poultry, food safety, physiology, nutrition, eggs, and other subjects. The chicken and turkey barbecue contests involve skills in barbecuing, preparation of a product, and a presentation that demonstrates knowledge of the subject industry, food safety and product attributes. The conference also introduces the participants to careers in the poultry and allied industries. The seven State Gold Medal winners will be travelling with the State Poultry Specialist.
