Cargil Protein offers interns the opportunity to visit our turkey production facilities on the East Coast and the Lower Midwest. They will experience the full range of turkey production from breeders through processing. Interns will participate in all aspects of clinical medicine that are of concern during the visit, including disease diagnostics & therapy, food safety, welfare, and management/husbandry.
Cargill Protein has two Board-Certified Poultry Veterinarians on staff, and raises approximately 35 million turkeys annually.
The student will accompany staff Veterinarians or service staff to production facilities during regular business hours. The latter could include days, evenings, and weekends depending on the problem at hand.
A bedroom will be provided in the Veterinarian's house. Meals will be provided.
