    THE  INTERNATIONAL POST-GRADUATE PROGRAM ON
     
    Poultry Production & Management: Veterinary & Nutritional Aspects -
    Protein Enhancement to Help Combat Hunger
    April 8 –  May 2, 2013
     
     
    MASHAV is the Hebrew acronym for the Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation, a department established 50 years ago in Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MASHAV is responsible for designing and implementing Israel's international development programs, carried out in Israel and in development partner countries.
     
    In cooperation with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Faculty of Agriculture – MASHAV's only academic professional affiliate – we are pleased to announce the opening of a training and capacity building course entitled Poultry Production & Management: Veterinary & Nutritional Aspects - Protein Enhancement to Help Combat Hunger
    The course will be held in Israel at the Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Division of External Studies in Rehovot.
     
    RATIONALE
    Proteins are the building blocks of life. They are necessary for the regulation of human metabolism and healthy growth and development. Poultry, specifically chicken, is the world's primary source of animal protein which is available throughout the year. Therefore, the global production of protein is a key factor in determining the nutritional level of nations around the world.
    In addition, the profitability of poultry growing in the future will determine the amount of protein available for consumption. Taking into account the fact that poultry products are low cost with high protein nutritional value, it is clear that an increase in poultry production will lead to the acceleration of protein consumption around the world.
     
    OBJECTIVES
    The aim of the course is to train participants in the area of poultry science (physiology, production, management, veterinary and nutritional aspects) in order to enable participants to apply new tools towards finding solutions to specific problems in their countries.
    We anticipate that participants will return to their respective home countries with new scientific knowledge and research approaches. Simultaneously, they are establishing a basis for future research cooperation between the participants and the researchers at The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food & Environment.

    THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM

     
    The Hebrew University of Jerusalem was opened in 1925, preceding the establishment of the State of Israel by over two decades. The University was designed to be a world class institution of higher learning and research. Today, the Hebrew University comprises 7 faculties, 15 schools, some 60 research centers, a present student body of about 24,000 and a tenured-track faculty of some 1,500. One third of its enrollment is at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. level.
     

    THE ROBERT H. SMITH FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE, FOOD & ENVIRONMENT

     
    The Hebrew University’s Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food & Environment was established in 1942 in Rehovot, a city at a distance of some 55 km (35 miles) from the main campus of the University in Jerusalem. The site was chosen due to considerations of climate and soil conditions. It is the only agricultural institution of higher education in Israel offering university degrees.
     
    The Faculty’s Division for External Studies was established in 1986. One of its aims is to expose academic graduates from abroad to post-graduate programs, giving them insight into the achievements and research of Israel in general (and of the Faculty in particular), expanding their knowledge in specific fields and creating opportunities for international cooperation.
