IMPACTS OF MEKARN FUNDING SUPPORT FOR POSTGRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAMME OF HUAF Dam Van Tien Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry
Domestic post-graduate training courses of the Faculty of Animal Science • Master Course of (i) Animal Science and (ii) Veterinary Medicine one and they are combination of coursework and research • Doctoral Course of Animal Science: only research course • The weakness: ☼ All the courses given to students by Vietnamese even their published papers ☼ Very limited in research funding
The main research topics concerned to poor farmers in Central region • Animal Nutrition (Pig, cattle and poultry) especially focused on making better use of local feed resources • Livestock-based farming systems • Animal diseases (hog cholera, intestinal parasitism) • Feeding Behavior
Combination of Mekarn Research Funds for promoting education of the Faculty Staff
Nutritional Research Funding Sources of the Faculty of Animal Science of HUAF
WTO and farmer need? • Who need to support? Rich farmer or poor one? • Two ways of approaching when we are full membership of WTO: • (i) Food security more engaging with poor rural regions especially Central region • (ii) Food safety as a mean of promoting the quality of food for exporting and higher class of consumers and rich farmer get more benefit than poor one. However, They are still a target of Government support as a mean of producing hight quality of food for exporting
Current needs of the poorest region of the country for promoting education and research • A part of research funding for domestic postgraduate students under supervision of Mekarn-PHD lecturers • The funding source might be more efficient and impact if we are given to students • Why? Three targets we have: (i) educational promoting with academic title (ii) research outcomes for application if possible (iii) English paper quality (Mekarn webside) that engaging with new policy of our gorvernment (china lection)
Research opportunity for poor region • Solar potential for biomass production • What do we need to achieve more biomass from agricultural activities • If energy crisis occurs which part of the world will be more impact?
Length of Growing Periods inAgro-Ecological Zones Classification/Biomass production
The role of livestock for solar biomass production • Livestock is a key component for recycle nature • Main product of animal for human consumption • Byproduct (manure) for cultivation in harmony with environment
Poor farmer needs in Central region • “Low input production” might be more appropriate • The more recycle of biomass in farming systems, the more sustainable we have development models for our poor farmers • “Think globally, Act locally”
