Outstanding Projects
Our Year 3 Diploma in Veterinary Technology student Angel, specializing in the Aquaculture elective cluster partnered with DishTheFish Pte Ltd for a TP-funded research project to create a sustainable feed formulation. This initiative addresses two pivotal aquaculture issues: the soaring costs and unsustainable reliance on fishmeal, and increased food waste. By repurposing fish entrails and fruit waste, Angel successfully formulates a well-balanced feed for omnivorous fish, promoting food and environmental sustainability.
Our Year 3 Diploma in Veterinary Technology student, Jolin specializing in the Aquaculture elective cluster collaborated with The Metropolitan Fishery Group to research cost-effective methods for combating ectoparasites and bacteria in local fish farms. Her study assessed the correlation between bacterial and parasitic infections and the efficacy of the 1-4-7 treatment. The findings from this research carry significant implications for cost reduction and predicting parasitic infestation and bacterial growth in fisheries.
Our Year 3 Diploma in Veterinary Technology student Mendoza, specializing in the Veterinary elective cluster conducted a collaborative research project with Bird Paradise at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve in Singapore, analyzing the impact of recent inter-aviary transfers. She collected and compared clinical records of avian patients with traumatic injuries at the facility. Additionally, Mendoza cross-referenced this data with the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) for a comprehensive evaluation of the health outcomes associated with these transfers.
“The course taught me the foundational skills required for both the aquaculture and veterinary industry. During internship and clinical rotations, it was a great experience as I learnt more about both industries, worked with different people and used the skills I have learnt from the course.”
Deborah Chua
Executive,
