As part of practical training, students of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology consolidate their theoretical knowledge in the Agroalliance Invest holding.

The company is engaged in the maintenance and breeding of the Jersey breed of cows. The livestock is more than 1,700 cows — one of the largest herds of jersey in Russia.

Every year, about 20 students of Stavropol State Agrarian University undergo practical training on the basis of Agroalliance Invest. They immerse themselves in the profession, solving real production tasks: they do ultrasound for cows, prescribe the necessary drugs and procedures, tag calves and monitor the quality of milk daily, determining the fat index, the number of semiotic cells and the presence of antibiotics.

I am convinced that practical training at enterprises of this level helps to increase residual knowledge, helps to navigate the profession, motivates for results,» said Vladimir Sitnikov, Rector of StGAU.
