“We are delighted and proud to welcome you at the Faculty of Agriculture USU.

The seminar atmosphere was highly interactive, with undergraduate and master’s students actively asking and answering questions. Several students even received prizes for successfully answering questions from the speakers.
“I hope this seminar serves as both inspiration and knowledge for students so that they can contribute significantly in the future to a modern, healthy, and sustainable national poultry sector,” added Mr. Ricky at the end of the session.
