KSHK Go To School 2025 : Pet Day at School

Student Activity Monday, 26 May 2025

KSHK Go To School, themed “Pet Day at School,” is an initiative organized by the Community Engagement Department of the Companion Animal Study Group (KSHK) at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada. This program aims to introduce participants to companion animals through structured and engaging activities. The event is anticipated to enhance participants’ understanding and appreciation of companion animals, while also providing an opportunity for KSHK members to apply theoretical knowledge and foster social interaction within the broader community.

The KSHK Go To School activity was held at TK Dharma Bakti I, Karangwuni, Yogyakarta, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 08:00 to 10:00 AM. The event commenced with opening remarks delivered by the event coordinator, the core board of the Companion Animal Study Group (KSHK), and the Principal of TK Dharma Bakti I, Karangwuni, Yogyakarta. Following the speeches, the event continued with an educational session focusing on companion animals, particularly cats. This was followed by a quiz to assess participants’ understanding of the material presented. Next, a hands-on session was conducted, during which participants learned how to approach, hold, and feed a cat. The organizing committee supervised this session to ensure both safety and engagement. Afterward, a handwashing activity was held to promote hygiene awareness. The program also included an interactive “Listen and Concentrate” game designed to encourage focus and teamwork. Prizes were awarded to participants who answered the quiz correctly and to the game’s winning team as a form of appreciation. The event concluded with a documentation session and the presentation of souvenirs as tokens of remembrance.

The entire series of activities in KSHK Go To School 2025 ran smoothly and was met with great enthusiasm from all participants. However, there were still several points for evaluation during its implementation. These included overtime issues due to an overly packed schedule and challenges in managing participants, which led to an event extension beyond the planned timeline. Additionally, miscommunication among the committee members was noted as an area for improvement.

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM with PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Build Closed House Layer in Gunungkidul

HighlightsNews Friday, 23 May 2025

FoVM UGM is the first university to receive a Grant for the Modern Closed House Layer from PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia

As part of strengthening the synergy between education and industry, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FoVM UGM), officially started the construction of the Teaching Farm Closed House Layer (TFCH) in Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The construction of the closed house is a grant from PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia will then be used for learning, research, and technology development in modern animal husbandry, especially with a closed-cage system with the latest technology.

The first stone was put to symbolize the start of the construction. The event was held at the Smart Veterinary Teaching Farm owned by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM in Dengok Village, Playen District, Gunungkidul, on Thursday (5/15/2025). Present at the event included the President Director of PT CPI, Dr. (HC) Tjiu Thomas Effendi, S.E., M.B.A., Expert Staff of the Minister of Agriculture for Downstreaming of Livestock Products of the Ministry of Agriculture, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ali Agus, DAA., DEA., IPU., ASEAN Eng, Vice Chancellor for Planning, Assets, and Information Systems, Arif Setiawan Budi Nugroho., S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM, Prof. drh. Teguh Budipitojo, Ph.D., Deputy Regent of Gunungkidul, Joko Parwoto, S.E., M.M., and other related parties. The construction is targeted to be completed within three months.

In addition, the closed house layer is a modern cage system with a capacity of 5000 chickens. This coop is designed to optimize environmental conditions for laying hens (layers) where it regulates ventilation, temperature conditions, and humidity automatically. Furthermore, the automatic system also includes egg harvesting and selection, feed, drink, and disinfection operations, including waste processing using the latest robotic technology. This closed-house layer served as a learning medium, an industrial model in the poultry sector, and some are provided for research for students and lecturers. Hopefully, this close house will increase FoVM students’ interest and professionalism in entering the poultry industry.

“This is a breakthrough for the Faculty, as our effort to bring the students’ learning process closer to industrial scale activities in the poultry sector,” said the Dean of FoVM UGM, Prof. drh Teguh Budipitojo, Ph.D., in his speech. Prof. Teguh noted that FoVM UGM students’ interest in entering the poultry farming industry tends to be low. This condition also occurs in other faculties of Veterinary Medicine in Indonesia.

“As we know, students’ interest in undertaking the poultry world is decreasing. Not only at UGM, I have asked all the deans of veterinary medicine throughout Indonesia, and the condition is the same. As the chairman of the Indonesian Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Association (AFKHI), I asked for data, and it turned out that the enthusiasm for graduates to enter the poultry world was only around 15 percent, the rest mostly went to practice (animal clinics),” he said.

“When asked, 60 percent wanted to establish their clinic. Therefore, thank Mr. Thomas Effendi today for allowing UGM to receive this closed-house layer grant to provide a direct picture to students related to poultry activities, especially in the layer sector,” he added.

President Director of PT CPI, Thomas Effendi, hopes this collaboration can continue. He wants the facilities built not only to be symbols, but also to be sustainable without a time limit. “We hope this program can run well. Not only until the laying of the stone, until the construction is estimated to be three months, until the endless process,” he said. He also added that it is hoped that the built Close House Layer can provide students with an overview of the miniature world of the poultry business.

For your information, PT. CPI is a giant company engaged in the poultry sector. However, this company also focuses on the education sector. This company has been carrying out many educational programs since 1984. PT. CPI also has a special institution that focuses on education. Through this institution, PT. CPI has funded the education of 463 students from 23 universities throughout Indonesia. Meanwhile, the Expert Staff of the Minister of Agriculture for Downstreaming of Livestock Products of the Ministry of Agriculture, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ali Agus, DAA., DEA., IPU., ASEAN Eng said that the construction of the Closed House Layer is one form of commitment from the industry to advance education and community service in universities. “University, industry, and community collaboration are inevitable if we want to advance and develop the industry, including this livestock. Why? If calculated at the earliest, the gap between industry and universities is 10 years, and an average of 20 years. It could be that not every student has ever seen a closed house layer cage or laying hen,” he said. Therefore, he added that it must be encouraged because industry and universities need each other.

The Deputy Regent of Gunungkidul, Joko Parwoto, S.E., M.M., also expressed his appreciation to PT. CPI and UGM are responsible for constructing the Closed House Layer in Gunungkidul. He said, This is a strategic step for advancing education in Bumi Handayani. Laying the first stone for this development is a strategic step that will become a strong foundation in animal husbandry and veterinary education, especially in Gunungkidul. This event is not only a symbol of the start of physical development but also marks the start of a significant, meaningful collaboration between the world of education, industry, and society. I believe the synergy between FoVM UGM and PT CPI will bring sustainable benefits,” he said.

This activity support several SDGs points, such as point 2 (Zero Hunger), point 4 (Quality Education), point 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), point 15 (Life on Land), point 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institution) and point 17 (Partnership to for Goals).

Giving Peace with PMK x KMK x KMMV Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM 2025

Student Activity Monday, 5 May 2025

Peace is a situation that needs to be fought for and celebrated together. Based on this belief, the faculty’s religious Students’ Unit Activity (UKM) (PMK – Christian Students Fellowship, KMK – Catholic Students Family, and KMMV – Muslim Students Family) organized a Social Charity with the theme “Giving Peace” by giving away free food for people in need on Friday, March 21, 2025 around UGM area. This activity is a means for UKMs to be able to serve and share with the community as an implementation of the teachings of love of each religion. In addition, this activity also fosters kinship, togetherness, and tolerance from each religious UKM at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM which is in line with SDGs values such as supporting peace, justice, and strong institutions and can overcome hunger for others in need (SDGs 16 and 2) through food distribution activities.

 

The total amount of food distributed was 90 pax of rice boxes containing rice, grilled chicken, vegetables, and crackers. The organizing committee ensured that the food distributed was nutritious for the recipients. The food distribution was divided into four routes, namely the Agro route (16 pax), the Engineering route (30 pax), the Gejayan route (22 pax), and the Terban route (22 pax). Each route was led by one person in charge.

 

All members of the three UKMs were divided into small groups and distributed food according to the predetermined route. Each team that had arrived at the location then began distributing food to people in need, both for people living on the side of the road and several motorists passing by. The Food Distribution activity was carried out from 03.30 to 05.45 PM. At the end, 90 packs of rice boxes have been successfully distributed to those in need.

After that, each team returned to Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM for final documentation.

In Saturday, 20 April 2025 at Mini Zoo Jogja Exotarium, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Wildlife Study Group (KSSL) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM held an event called Pisces or Marine Mammals Basic Medicine with the theme of Understanding the Ecology of Arapaima and Parrot Fish. The aims of this event are to increase the basic knowledge of KSSL members and general participants about the examinations and medical treatments for freshwater fish and saltwater fish, and as a place to brainstrom and discuss the veterinary competencies related to fish medical examinations and treatments. It is hoped that KSSL members and the paricipants, students of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM, can apply their knowledge and skills that has given from the event in their future professional life as a veterinarian.

This activity was opened by a speech by drh. Akbar Taruna as the director of Jogja Exotarium. Drh. Akbar told the students to continue exploring to find new knowledge, and build self-branding as a good and credible vet. Then, the event continued with a seminar session by drh. Lusiana Rachmawati who delivered the knowledge about how to do conservation for arapaima fish.

Participants and committees learned a lot about arapaima fish starting from morphology, characteristics of its nature, distribution, diseases, and parasites that are usually experienced by the fish. Arapaima fish itself is a species originating from the Amazon River, Brazil. This fish is invasive and protected. This invasive nature makes this fish act as a controller of ecosystem stability. Unfortunately, its population is decreasing due to excessive fishing.

This fish should not be released freely in Indonesian waters because it can interfere with local fish species. With good conservation, the existence of arapaiman fish can prevent illegal trade and uncontrolled release into public waters so as not to endanger other fish species in local waters.

The seminar session was continued with a Q&A session and a workshop for demonstration and practice of parrotfish and red snapper necropsy. The participants and committee were shown directly how to do a good fish necropsy, then they practiced the same thing in small groups.

From the seminar and the workshop that have been held, participants received advanced knowledge about the behaviour and various fish disease treatments. Participants’ involvement is expected to deepen their understanding of fish diseases and their impact on the environment. In this way, it aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education, Goal 14: Life Below Water, and Goal 17: Partnership for the goals.

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM Strengthens Veterinary Epidemiology Capacity in Asia-Pacific through APCOVE

News Monday, 28 April 2025

Yogyakarta, April 24, 2025 — The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), is collaborating with the University of Sydney, Australia, as the lead institution in the Strengthening Veterinary Workforce in Asia-Pacific for Diseases Detection and Response (Vet-APIDDaR) project, funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). This partnership commenced in 2020 and continued through 2024 (Phase 1), focusing on the development of an online epidemiology training platform for veterinarians across Asia-Pacific countries.

An inter-country forum initiated through this project led to the formation of the Asia Pacific Consortium of Veterinary Epidemiology (APCOVE), an international consortium comprising over 40 veterinary epidemiology experts from Australia, New Zealand, and various Asia-Pacific countries. Indonesia is represented by Dr. Drh. Widagdo Sri Nugroho, M.P., Drh. M.Th. Khridiana Putri, M.P., Ph.D. (both from FKH UGM), Drh. Martha Simanjutak, M.Sc., and Drh. Imas Yuyun, M.Sc. (Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Republic of Indonesia) (SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals).

Phase 1 successfully produced a mid-level field epidemiology training module aimed at veterinarians at district, provincial, and national levels, and organized online training programs (APCOVE), with 30 participants from Indonesia among the alumni. This initiative now continues into Phase 2 (2024–2028), which encompasses four key activities: frontline epidemiology training, intermediate personnel development, One Health training, and training programs for lecturers and field epidemiology mentors.

To launch the second phase, a Stakeholder Consultation Meeting was held from April 22–24, 2025, at FKH UGM and the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia. The meeting aimed to assess the needs of veterinary professionals in Indonesia, identify field epidemiology training priorities, and explore the integration of APCOVE training modules into undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary education curricula. The event also featured presentations from APCOVE alumni, who shared their experiences and contributions to animal disease detection and control (SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 15: Life on Land).

The program opened with remarks from the Dean of FKH UGM, delivered by the Vice Dean for Research, Community Service, Cooperation, and Alumni Affairs, Prof. Dr. Drh. Aris Haryanto, M.Si. Prof. Aris emphasized the critical importance of cross-country and inter-institutional collaboration in strengthening veterinary epidemiology capacity as a cornerstone of national health resilience. Discussions during the meeting highlighted opportunities for expanded collaboration, including joint curriculum development, student exchange programs, and international guest lectures, all of which contribute to achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) in international cooperation and graduate quality enhancement.

This initiative aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

The series of events included presentations by Prof. Navneet Dhand and Prof. Jenny-Ann Toribio from the University of Sydney, who discussed the implementation of APCOVE activities in Indonesia. Drh. Dyah Ayu Widiasih, Ph.D., presented an overview of the veterinary epidemiology curriculum at FKH UGM. Testimonies were also shared by Drh. Rochmadiyanto, M.Sc., an APCOVE Batch 1 alumnus from the Wates Veterinary Center (BBVet). Additional academic contributions were provided by Dr. Vicka Octaria from FETP FK-KMK UGM and Drh. Kharisma Dewi, who presented UGM’s One Health activities (SDG 4: Quality Education).

The meeting also explored strategies for integrating APCOVE training modules into veterinary education programs. In addition, Prof. Jenny-Ann Toribio and Prof. Navneet Dhand held discussions with the Dean and faculty leadership of FKH UGM to further strengthen collaboration, particularly in the areas of veterinary education standardization, student exchanges, and visiting professor programs (GES) (SDG 4 : Quality Education, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals).
