In July of 2023, Carteret County 4-H took two teams, a Junior and Senior team, to the state Avian Bowl Competition hosted by the Prestige Department of Poultry Science at NC State University. The Avian Bowl is a double elimination contest patterned after other knowledge bowls. Contestants must have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter for several species of poultry, food safety, physiology, nutrition, eggs, and other related subjects. Retrieved from University of Kentucky: Department of Animal & Food Sciences
The Carteret County 4-H Junior team finished 2nd in their division and the Senior team finished 1st in their division. The Senior Team, by finishing 1st, qualified to go on to the national event held during the National Poultry and Egg Conference in Louisville, Kentucky on November 15 & 16, 2023.
