The Western Cape Region, the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) and staff from the Department of Corporate Communication and Marketing (CC&M) participated in the 2012 Livestock Health and Production Group (LHPG) congress in Stellenbosch.
LHPG’s mission is to perform quality continuous professional development for members, industry partners and customers to foster collaboration between livestock veterinarians and relevant producer organisations. The congress was attended by 145 national and international veterinarians, with 20 companies and institutions exhibiting their products and services to the congress attendees.
The team had an opportunity to visit the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishers and also Agricultural Research Council (ARC), both at Stellenbosch for Business to Business (B2B) purposes, where a brief was given on Agriculture and Animal Health programmes.
This gave CC&M the platform to position Unisa as an ODL institute of choice. The Western Cape Region and CAES also had the opportunity to exhibit the Agriculture and Animal Health programmes, as it is one of the main focus areas of the College. Delegates showed interest in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by CAES.
