Allen Harim, a leading producer and processor of chicken on Delmarva, was honored this week for its decade-long commitment to poultry environmental research conducted at the University of Delaware’s Carvel Research and Education Center in Georgetown, Del.
The poultry company has provided all of the baby chicks and feed at the facility’s two test chicken houses, where research has been conducted on environmental issues related to growing broiler chickens. An Allen Harim company-owned chicken farm has also been used for important research, said Dr. Mark Isaacs, director of the Carvel Research and Education Center.
