Zoetis-NFU Poultry Trainee Award - now in its 15th year - promotes the importance of training in career development and in benefiting flock performance and animal welfare. The award is open to all in egg, poultry meat and game sectors. There is no age restriction. The judging panel will review all entries and shortlist the finalists who will be interviewed to decide the winner. Finalists are then invited to the presentation where the winner is announced. The winner receives a £2000 training grant sponsored by Zoetis and an engraved trophy. All finalists are invited as guests of the NFU annual conference in February.

Judging and presentation of the 2020 award was done virtually – but we hope to return to a more normal programme this year with the presentation part of a day-to-remember for all the finalists. Further details on this and the presentation will be announced later.

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES: October 31
