Course Animal Feed Production

The first upcoming course that requires sponsors is our Animal Feed Production course. The course, which starts in March 2020, will teach students how to formulate and produce compound feeds with the desired nutrient levels and develop a plan for the production of compound feed. The programme is geared towards professionals already engaged in feed processing activities, as well as those in closely related fields.

  • assessing quality and safety deviations
  • communicating with feed production workers/managers

Results

When students complete this programme, they will be able to formulate and produce properly processed compound feeds with the desired nutrient levels. They also learn how to develop a plan for the compound feed production suitable for their local environment.
