UP veterinary science students make a difference

Abstract

A group of 125 veterinary science students from the University of Pretoria (UP) – led by Mr Masethe Maime (Chief Animal Health Technician) and Mrs Mmatjie Maime (Extension Advisor) from the North West Provincial Department of Rural, Environment and Agricultural Development – recently went to Makapanstad village in the North West province, where they had the opportunity to gain first-hand experience handling farm animals without the aid of standard animal-handling facilities.
