Project description:
Partnering with Main Street Project a team of students from Debby Walser- Kuntz’s Immunology class at Carleton College researched the effectiveness of alternatives to antibiotic treatment in raising chicken broilers. They then researched what other farmers in Minnesota are doing in order to access the practicality of such alternative treatments. For each alternative treatment, they attempted to highlight both the pros and cons. This included side effects, limitations to environment, as well as cost effectiveness and present their findings to Main Street Project.
Student researchers: Brian Rhodes, Tony Daza, C.J. Dale, Sarah Rempel, Lydia English, Nick Haradhvala
