EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Pig farming is one of the most significant branches of agricultural production. The development of this type of production is very intensive throughout the world. Pig productiveness increases at the annual level. Opening of new markets and changes in the foreign trading policies have significant effect on the market. The prices of all agricultural products no longer depend solely on the supply and demand and weather conditions, but also on the prices of agricultural products in the region. Domestic market no longer has the opportunity to protect its products by introducing customs and levies. In such environment, the only option is to bring the production to the level of modern production and thus become competitive. The road to success leads through education, acquiring of new knowledge and skills, introduction of modern technology, equipment and genetics. The knowledge is the crucial factor in achieving success and that is what “EduFarm” can offer through its educational program in Crvenka. The farm is equipped with the state of the art equipment, superior genetics, housing capacity and 6-week training program which covers all the necessary aspects of modern pig farming.

The farm produces F1 superior gilts, so I had the opportunity to learn how to treat such gilts. Apart from the practical part, we have also covered theoretical part where we found out more about calculating the capacity, forming of optimal groups, how to analyze a farm from the economic point of view in terms of incomes and expenses, work with specialized software for data registration which can later be used to analyze data and improve overall results.

EDUFARM is absolutely perfect. Over a short period of time, I have acquired advance knowledge about feeding, breeding technology and health protection of pigs. Such training it necessary for every person who wishes to engage in animal farming at the high level.

After only two weeks at the farrowing room, I learnt how to castrate by myself, which will bring progress and savings at our family farm. As soon as I have more time available, I will attend other courses as well.

Sabina Đeri

I came here to learn the practical application, because the theory is one thing, and practice is something completely different. I am very satisfied with the farm, accommodation and the team of lecturers. Over a short period of time, I have learnt many things: From the techniques to discover estrus, to take semen from the boar, preparation of the semen, making of doses... I managed to acquire routine in activities I have never seen during my faculty education.
