University of Basrah Strengthens Students’ Practical Skills through Joint Field Training between the Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture

The College of Veterinary Medicine organized a specialized educational field training program for second-year students at the animal farms of the College of Agriculture.

The initiative aims to enhance students’ practical competencies and bridge the gap between academic curricula and real-world application through a range of extracurricular activities. It seeks to prepare future veterinarians with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in field management.

The training focused on familiarizing students with modern techniques in breeding and feeding various farm animals. This was accomplished through a series of lectures and practical sessions delivered by faculty members from the College of Agriculture.

The program also aimed to move beyond purely theoretical instruction by immersing students in a real working environment, thereby improving their understanding of the practical challenges facing the livestock sector in Iraq.
