The animal husbandry project at Sidmouth College

A rather unfortunated incident highlighted the importance of Sidmouth College's animal husbandry project:
Fox ‘decimates’ beloved birds at Sidmouth College - News - Sidmouth Herald

However, the project seems to be robust enough - and the commitment to the livestock serious:

Husbandry Project

Picture

Our Husbandry Project was initiated in the Autumn of 2014. The orchard is now home to 2 Devon Lop pigs, 4 Indian Runner ducks and 7 chickens, who are all thriving, and our aim is for all students to benefit from caring for our livestock.

We would also like to involve members of the wider community and, in particular, are looking for reliable parents who can help us feed, water and check up on our animals at weekends and during school holidays. If you would like to help, or are interested in finding out more, please contact Mrs Harris (eharris@sidmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk) or Mr Armstrong (barmstrong@sidmouthcollege.devon.sch.uk).

If you have already received an induction and would like to book a slot on our animal care rota, please click on the link below to access the Husbandry Care Timetable:

And of course at Bicton College, these things are taken very seriously:

Animal Husbandry School

New Animal Husbandry School Opened March 7th 2014!

Our new animal husbandry school provides an outstanding teaching environment for animal care, animal husbandry, and animal conservation disciplines as well as related enterprise activities, and will provide access to the general public as a visitors’ attraction. The innovative design provides enclosures and paddocks for a wide range of animals, including small animals, exotic species, fish, birds, reptiles and larger farm animals.
