Vision and Expectation towards Academic Administration Work in Foreign Country

 

 

He said that many countries raise Thailand as the leaders of livestock product manufacturer, especially countries in ASEAN. This is because we have readiness in many aspects. We know well that a good product efficiency leads to low cost production. As the globe become smaller these days because of connecting technologies. Today we are number one but another few years we may not be able to keep our position. Our neighboring countries improves their work very fast and ready to adapt advanced technologies to develop livestock product. Maybe in a very short time, they will be in the same position as ours.

For academic administration work in foreign countries, we realized that the essential points that we should prepare are as follows; 

1.       The academic team must be large, composed of specialists in every aspect; nutritionist, machinery engineers, veterinary to ensure animal health, etc. to provide the diverse requirement
2.       Modern technologies, our laboratory to provide service
3.       Ability to provide consultation related to every kind of livestock business,
For example, swine, poultry, ruminant and aquatic animal businesses
4.       International cooperation network such as university and governmental authorities in foreign country
5.       Academic team located in each country for a fast service.

In the future, apart from the academic section, our service should cover all requirements and be ready to adapt itself to solve future problems such as raw material shortage and its substitution, problem of antibiotic medicines, labor shortage and labor cost control, technologies to replace labors, development of specie that is not sensitive to diseases or difficult production environment. Vet Products Group realizes the importance of the knowledge and strives to provide the academic service in foreign countries to the best of our ability.
