Course abstract
The aim of the course is to introduce students to specialized technologies in livestock, husbandry and other fields. Its are introduced to newer solutions used for keeping livestock, as well as with state-of the-art technologies and equipment for the preparation and distribution of fodder, removal and management of manure, milking and milk pretreatment, microclimate. The field crop technology contain in-depth studies in the horticulture sector, greenhouse, land reclamation, peat extraction and communal farm. Students can choose their preferred specializations.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
