Skill enhancement and training of inseminators in European livestock improvement agencies and agriculture

Objective

Due to continually increasing demand for animal husbandry and livestock improvement, there is a growing need for highly skilled workers in this area, especially for livestock inseminators. Livestock improvement agencies are offering a wider range of services. The skills of inseminators must be constantly up-graded, not just in conventional technical areas. They also need to be trained in customer service, integral process chain control and the use of information technology.

The first step in the project will be an investigation into present and future vocational qualification and training needs in the field of livestock improvement (of both cattle and pigs) in the four countries involved. This will provide the foundation for pilot training schemes and programmes. Work will also be carried out on professional recognition for inseminators. In a final phase, advice will be provided to social partners and training institutions on training agreements, content and procedures.

Impact
This project will enhance the knowledge level and quality of work of inseminators through which the entire livestock improvement sector, especially customers of breeding units, will benefit.
