Introduction to the Small Ruminant Farming Course

The Small Ruminant Farming Course was held at the Glami Lemi Biotechnology Research Centre, Universiti Malaya (PPBGLUM) on October 23-24, 2024. This course involved 50 participants from the Jelebu Drug Rehabilitation Institution.

Course Objectives

The main objective of this course was to provide exposure and knowledge about small ruminant farming, including management, breeding, and animal health care.
