Applied Poultry Research Laboratory

Faculty Supervisor: Dr. Roselina Angel

The APRL is part of the Upper Marlboro Research Facility, a 202 acre unit located in Prince George's County, approximately 20 miles (30 minutes) from the College Park campus. The facility was constructed in 1996 to replace the former campus poultry farm. At present there are two broiler grow-out houses that can be adapted to handle a variety of research activities ranging from nutrition to physiology to animal behavior, a combination feed handling/shop/storage/office building, and a machinery shed. The APRL is used by the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences faculty and their graduate students.
