The Agricultural Research Council continues to strengthen its work that supports livestock farmers through improved research, vaccine development, and operational support. Recently, Ms Manthati Makumbila from the Agricultural Research Council visited the Onderstepoort Veterinary Research Campus to engage directly with research and support teams. The focus of the visit included Human Capital Management and the Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccine teams. The purpose was to improve coordination between support services and scientific work that directly affects animal health. For farmers, this type of engagement matters because it shapes how quickly and effectively veterinary solutions reach the field.
