tailieunhanh - AUSAID CARD project : " A BLUEPRINT FOR SUSTAINABLE SMALLHOLDER PIG PRODUCTION IN CENTRAL VIETNAM "

The first week will be at Huntly farm unit 6 QAF (4000sows), or bacon Castle (2000 sows). Week 2 will be at the sow farm from 100-1000, which has a deep litter system is also different. The theory will address standards related capacity for 2 & 3 certificates in agriculture, which we currently provide to farmers as RTO. We will also consider the economic and pig farm test data from all the farms we visited to determine the economic benefit is improved performance. | AUSAID CARD Project 004 05 A BLUEPRINT FOR SUSTAINABLE SMALLHOLDER PIG PRODUCTION IN CENTRAL VIETNAM AUSTRALIAN TRAINING WORKSHOPS REPORT 6 Vietnamese Scientists June 6th to July 21st 2006 2 SYDNEY UNIVERSITY PROPOSED TIMETABLE FOR 1-WK VIETNAMESE VISIT DAY ACTIVITY LEARNING OUTCOME Sun Mon. am Mon. pm Arrive Sydney Tour Camden to get bearings.
