The curricula for students of COVAB had in the past been focused on animal nutrition, production, reproduction, and health with minimal emphasis to welfare of animals. In 2010, an animal welfare module was introduced into the curricula to address this gap, but lack of teaching materials and lecturers made the teaching difficult. Therefore, in February 2018 the VETS UNITED project started in collaboration with the college focussing on the study courses Bachelor of Animal Production (BAP), Wildlife Health and Management (WHM), Livestock Industry and Business (BLIB) and Veterinary Medicine (BVM). To ensure that all important animal welfare topics are covered in the curricula and suitable lectures and practicals are available the curricula for the targeted study courses were revised, missing content added, and training materials compiled. Curricula were revised through a series of meetings that included internal consultations at the college (included teaching staff and students) and external consultations with animal industry stakeholders (including regulatory authorities, ministry, and farmers). The revised curricula were approved by the senate and submitted to the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) for final approval, followed by an official visit by NCHE as part of the verification process. The revised curriculum for BVM was finally approved in September 2023. The final approval for BAP, BLIB and WHM is still pending but meanwhile they are already used for teaching in all four courses since 2022.
