Seminar Information
 General Topic: Sanitation
 Seminar Title: Sanitation in Poultry business for owner and employees
 Seminar Description: This seminar introduces sanitation procedures and the use of
practical measures for the preservation of public health as valuable tool to discover the
importance of cleanliness to a healthy environment.
 Length of Time: 2 hours
Seminar Rationale
 Improving the environmental sanitation conditions will be highly beneficial in the
community. Hence poor sanitation and hygiene related diseases will be levelled out.
Infrastructures of health, water and sanitation facilities are keys to achieve a profitable
business as well. Understanding why sanitation is important to a healthy environment
could help in building a strong relationship between the company, the community, and
the customer. Sufficient and safe drinking water supply for the animals, improved
sanitation, and access to sanitary means of animal excreta disposal are the major areas of
work.
 The physical environment is very crucial to the very survival of man and it is a
fundamental right of man to live in a clean and unpolluted environment. Therefore, the
company should help in providing customer, employee, and community welfare.
Identifying sanitation problems will significantly lower the amount of bad effects that a
poultry business usually brings.
 An effective leader envisions a goal, understands what it takes to get there, and executes
accordingly. He knows his own strengths and weaknesses, passions and obligations, and
he always learning to better manage faults and challenges. An effective leader is
trustworthy, and so should be growing in integrity and humility. Knowing what is right
and what is not about a business will bring success not only to him as the owner but also
to the workers and community around him. This seminar will provide inspiration to the
participants to start exercising sanitation practices for their own good.
Learning Objectives
 Upon completion of the seminar, we hope employees as well as the owner will learn the
importance of sanitation and its contribution to the healthy living of a community or
society. Reflection and mentorship are useful tools to have along the way. We also hope
that employees and the owner will acknowledge that it is never too late to start
monitoring their sanitation practices and improve their facilities to address some of their
present issues regarding cleanliness. At the end of this seminar, participants will be able
