Embrapa Opened Enrollment for Course on Raising Free-Range Chickens Focused on On-Farm Feed Production. Online Training, Free, and Certified.
Embrapa has open slots for the course on raising free-range chickens focused on producing feed on the farm, and the best part: there are unlimited slots available throughout Brazil. The training is entirely online, free of charge, and offers a certificate to participants who meet the required criteria.
Considering that the cost of feed represents a significant portion of the expenses in poultry farming, learning to formulate one’s own feed can mean real savings and increased profitability.
Therefore, this initiative emerges as a strategic alternative for family farmers, small and medium producers, and technicians working in the field.

In addition to reducing costs, the course strengthens rural production and expands income generation opportunities.
Throughout the training, participants learn to produce appropriate feed for both broilers and layers, respecting the nutritional requirements of each stage of production.
In this way, Embrapa directly contributes to improving the zootechnical performance of the flock and increasing productivity.
What Does the Course on Raising Free-Range Chickens Teach?
The content of the course on raising free-range chickens has been structured to be direct and applicable to the producer’s reality. First, the nutritional needs of the birds at each growth stage are presented.
Next, participants learn to identify appropriate feed formulas and select quality ingredients.
Additionally, the course details how to weigh and correctly prepare the formula ingredients. The proper way to mix is also addressed, as mistakes in this process can compromise weight gain and egg production in the birds.
Another fundamental point is the storage of feed, a step that directly influences the conservation of nutrients and the health of the flock.
The training is organized into four sections, with five activities and six supplementary resources. Available materials include participant guides, initial surveys, technical modules, supplementary materials, and course wrap-up.
With a workload of four hours, the course is self-instructional. This means that students can study at their own pace, although it is recommended to complete it within fifteen days.
Who Can Enroll in Embrapa’s Course?
The course is primarily aimed at family farmers, small and medium rural producers. However, technicians in technical assistance and technology transfer agents can also participate.
As it is online training, there is no requirement for physical presence or travel. All that is needed is internet access to follow the content on Embrapa’s official platform.
The coordination is by Embrapa Meio Norte, a unit that reinforces the importance of free-range poultry farming as a source of income and food security in small properties.
In regions where family production sustains the local economy, initiatives like this help strengthen rural areas and provide more autonomy for producers.
What Courses Are Available?
Currently, within this specific offering, the following course is available:
- Feed Production for Free-Range Chickens
The training received an average rating of 9.2 out of 10, based on 125 reviews from participants. This index demonstrates the relevance of the content and the practical applicability of the guidelines provided.
Is There a Certificate?
Yes. To receive the completion certificate issued by Embrapa, participants must achieve at least 70 percent of the points in the required activities. Additionally, it is necessary to complete the satisfaction survey and respond to the initial survey proposed in the virtual environment.
Only after meeting these criteria is a student considered a graduate and can issue the document.
How to Enroll?
Enrollment is now open and can be done directly through the Embrapa learning platform. Those who have previously registered can access the course through the official virtual environment.
Since there are unlimited slots, there is no selective classification process. Access is guaranteed to all who enroll. However, it is important not to delay, as it is recommended to complete the course within fifteen days after starting.
Enrollment remains open as long as the course is available on the platform.
