Georgikon students on a study trip to Austria

Students of the Georgikon Faculty of the University of Pannonia were provided insights into the characteristics of the Austrian poultry breeding and animal health systems during a study trip in November 2018. The programme, organised by the Clinic for Poultry Medicine of Vetmeduni Vienna (CEPI project partner), enabled students to get familiar with several practical aspects of the Austrian poultry sector, an opportunity that would most likely not emerge without our joint project.
