The Research and Training (RTM) and all other units will have a specific focus on training and skills development.

Feed plays a pivotal role in the sustainability and impact of agricultural value chains, and the training opportunities will be designed for impact. 

Training will be focused on a range of activities from operations, formulations and management, through experiential, on-site learning for undergraduate, postgraduate, animal science researchers, industry nutrition professionals and executives.

UP produces around 100 BScAgric graduates annually, and their training includes a module on feed milling.

The RTM will provide not only an opportunity for practical skills development in this course but also for similar courses in agriculture from neighbouring universities and regional partners.

We foresee at least 500 attendees per year in various training programmes based at the RTM.
