The Diploma in Dairy Farm Management is a seven-semester program designed to provide students with practical skills and theoretical knowledge for managing dairy farming operations effectively. This program equips learners to enhance productivity, ensure animal welfare, and promote sustainable dairy farming practices.
The curriculum covers essential areas such as dairy cattle husbandry, milk production, nutrition and feeding, breeding and genetics, dairy equipment management, farm economics, pest and disease control, and sustainable farming methods. Students also learn business and marketing strategies for the dairy industry, preparing them to manage or establish successful dairy enterprises.
A three-month industrial attachment allows students to gain real-world experience by working on modern dairy farms or in related agricultural organizations. This hands-on exposure helps learners develop practical competence in managing daily farm activities and addressing challenges in the dairy sector. The program also fosters professional growth through its Dairy Farmers Club, offering workshops, mentorship, and networking opportunities with industry experts.
