In addition, four best DVM thesis research proposals were funded by JJU as part of the student support service.
Community services are the top priority of the College and well explained by the outreach services and livestock emergency response given by the College to the local communities. To mention some of them :
- Following the occurrence of outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in Gursum and Jigjiga Districts, our College in collaboration with JJU-Community Service Directorate immediately mobilized its recourses (human and material) for this emergency case. Eight kebeles from Gursum district and three kebeles from Jigjiga district were covered by the intervention. Accordingly, the College managed to vaccinate over 11,000 cattle and treat over 600 animals in the affected areas.
- Certain areas in Ethiopian Somali Regional State had recently experienced a severe drought due to below average rain. The drought resulted negative impact on livestock keepers through mortality and reduced productivity of livestock. The College of Veterinary Medicine had mobilized its recourses (both human and material) and had sent livestock emergency team to Dolo zone with the aim of providing primary veterinary service for drought affected livestock. By doing so, the College managed to treat 37,700 animals and vaccinate 7,264 animals in three districts.
