The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management is a 3 year full-time degree programme open to all prospective students. This programme was first launched in September 2008. The program offers flexibility while providing the level of knowledge and skills required by Agriculture sector and professional bodies. The current curriculum was designed with emphasis on having the student acquire the Food security, Crop production,soil science, farm machinery, weed science, plant pathology, applied Entomology, Poultry production, Farm management, Food processing and technology, Fishery and Bee keeping.

Degree program develops conceptual and practical Agricultural skills in integrating Farming, Food production, food processing, livelihood and Farms. The majority will take up Agronomy positions in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management. Up to now we have highly qualified instructors with good scholars, human resource that department has: 13MSc, 7Bsc.

The graduates of the Faculty have profound knowledge in basic Agriculture field, rural development, Extension knowledge, quality control, and Animal husbandry and weed science, crop production aspects.

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management plays an important role in national agriculture development and food security since food shortage will happen at 2030 due to increasing of human population which will be 8 billion. Our graduates are working all over the country in a variety of jobs. They work with Ministry of Agricultural Development and fishery development, Quality control Commission, International INGOs, Local NGOs and private companies.

2. Rationale of the program

Agriculture and Livestock is the mainstay of Somaliland economy and significant contributor to its emerging economy. It is suggested that agriculture issues must always be escalated to the second top most authorities to be discussed, studied and resolved to the best interest of the nation in general. The intelligentsia groups are expected to understand and make the axis of their thinking in the various aspects of the agricultural development to meet the ever increasing needs and demands of the country’s whole population within the realm of the drastic changes taking place in this contemporary world, geographically, technologically, economically, culturally, etc.

With increased investment, smart regulations, infrastructure development, sector coordination and improved branding, the Somaliland has ample opportunities to capitalize on the growth of the agricultural sector in the East Africa and other regions of the Muslim world, while supporting the growing local demand.

After its independence from Somalia, Agricultural training was given at diploma level. These midlevel professionals were the key players in providing ground level Agricultural service. Currently the agriculture has grown significantly and contributes about 10 % of the GDP. Therefore, to develop and maintain this economy, there is a need to further strengthen the Agriculture research, Agricultural diagnostic laboratories and standard quality control centers. These institutions demand trained professionals at higher level. For these reasons, there is a plan to produce the academic programs in the country to University level by extending training and collaboration with other institutions. As part of this plan, Gollis University (department of Agriculture and Natural Resource Management) was found an ideal place for producing high professional Agriculturalist.

Course Description, Objectives, and Outcomes

Course Description

Plant anatomy is fundamental of botany courses for Agricultural students to learn the skeleton of plant body and the internal cells, tissues and organs of plant body.
The course explores more about how plant cells are organized during cell division and after cell division by developing segregation of the callus cells into separate specialized structure to carry out specific function in the plant body.
This course discovers the microtomy of the plant anatomy examination under microscope to find out the tinny section and cells of plant tissues and how these tissues are united together to form an organ and to get further detail about how these different plant tissues work together including meristematic tissues and permanent tissues. In addition to that the course focuses on the various cells structure like parenchyma cells, sclerenchyma cells and collenchyma cells.

Course Objectives

To learn basic the concept of plant structure
To understand the various cells of plant body
To achieve better understanding of plant tissues formation and union for the development of organs in plant body.
To know the plant cell division process and formation of the new cells
To explore the different cells of the plant tissues under microscope in the laboratory.

Course Outcomes

After learning of the course, students are expected to

Have fundamental concept of plant structure
Have good understanding about various cells of plant body.
Gain better understanding of plant tissues formation and new cells in meristematic tissues.
Study cell division methods deeply and segregation of plant cells and tissues in plant body to form a new organ.
Learn the laboratory tools and carry out plant identification under microscope.

Course Description

Animal Husbandry

Animal husbandry is the science of looking after and breeding animals
-specifically, those that are used in agriculture, to provide products, for research purposes or as domestic pets. The subject covers a wide range of activities, including care and grooming, livestock farming, accommodation and hygiene includes feeding, breeding, housing and marketing by using technology applied to the keeping of animals for profit of great importance. The study also overlaps with many other disciplines, such as agriculture, veterinary science and genetics.

To provide gainful self-employment to the weaker sections of the society in livestock sector
To create and maintain a “Disease Free Status” of major production areas so as to boost export of livestock products
To effectively control dreadful contagious diseases like PPR (Pestis Des Petits ruminants), Foot and Mouth disease, Brucellosis, Rabies, Hemorrhagic Septicaemia, Black Quarter in livestock well as Rainhat Disease, Salmonellosis in poultry
To organize Animal Health Camps, Work-Campaigns, Beneficiary-Training Programs as tools of extension

Course Description

Animal Production

. Course description: Animal production is where animals like cows, pigs, shoat and chickens, are raised for breeding purposes and/or food production to provide right good at the right quantity and at the right time, at the right cost… optimum utilization of resources to produce the desired product on farmers earn a living, have an ongoing food supply and contribute to the community.

However, animal production mainly refers to animals that are produced from other animals to be sold to producers who need them for their breeding herds/flocks.

Course Objectives

Expand and strengthen infrastructure for artificial insemination, which improve its efficiency and effectiveness using frozen semen technology for crossbreeding purposes.
Create a seed stock of qualitatively superior bulls, which would form the nucleus germ plasma pool to build milk herd of high production cattle.
Bring about genetic improvement of important livestock breeds through selective breeding and crossbreeding of low production non-descript stock, both for milk and for draught purposes. Steps are taken to conserve important indigenous breeds of the State.
Improve the productivity of pasture lands by introducing improve fodder seeds and increased use of wasteland for fodder production.
Optimize the use of crop residue through provision of appropriate supplements and conservation of green fodder.
Develop adequate animal health services for protection of livestock, with special emphasis on eradication of most prevalent diseases in the State

Course Outcomes

Establish linkage between rural milk producers and urban consumers by replicating the “And Pattern” dairy cooperatives in the State and lessen the adverse impact of seasonal imbalances in milk production and marketing to lead chine value pastoral to the town.

Explore the marketing avenues for sale of livestock products like wool, meat, eggs and day old chicks, cheese and utilize by-products of slaughter waste as well as to find export-oriented programmes of the State livestock products in Somaliland.
