A catcher already meets 17% of what the poultry breeder role asks for. The move turns on 20 required skills not yet in the profile.
17%
84.7/ 100
1 Share of the poultry breeder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the catcher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A poultry breeder role treats 4 of its required skills as things a catcher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- animal welfare legislation
- apply animal hygiene practices
- control animal movement
- livestock species
What stands in the way is 20 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A poultry breeder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a catcher background worth leading with.
- already held breed ducks handling and moving
- already held handle poultry handling and moving
- already held livestock species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held control animal movement handling and moving
- already held animal welfare agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held apply animal hygiene practices handling and moving
All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the poultry breeder role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 35 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a poultry breeder role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 breed poultry skill · occupation specific
- 02 administer drugs to facilitate breeding skill · sector specific
- 03 administer treatment to animals skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
