    I have been looking for poultry courses for a long time. We have our own small farm. We raise ducks, turkeys, chickens and other poultry. Not only for me, but also for my children. I would like someone to take over the family business. It would be great if there were animated characters to explain everything. I have seen such lessons, the information is very easy to understand and memorize.

      Animated characters are a game called FERRY FARM, and to run a business raising chickens and other animals, you don’t need characters, but information that explains everything, otherwise while you watch the chicken peck the grain on the computer in the chicken coop, you might all die of starvation. If it’s just for a game or to interest children, then yes.

    Sounds like a great idea! You can find online poultry farming courses that offer animated tutorials. Try searching on education platforms like Coursera, Udemy or Khan Academy. Such courses can be interesting and educational for you and your children. Good luck in developing your family business.

    Animations do not just engage your customers; they also inspire them to actually make purchases and help your business in maximizing profits. For this purpose, I would recommend you to visit this website https://explain.ninja/explainer-video-templates/ their team has been producing animated explainer videos for businesses from different industries and learned a lot about their needs and specific.

    It is a good idea. But if you have no idea that how to create animated video then I would say, you should consult with some experts. The link shared by rose can also be considerable. It is a good company and create professional animated video. I think you should visit it.
