Egypt Kafr El Sheikh University incorporates Tilapia Welfare App to curriculum

The Kafr El Sheikh University in Egypt has incorporated the mobile-based FAI Tilapia Welfare App and e-learning courses into its academic curriculum. In this way, the future generation of aquaculture professionals will be trained with the best knowledge and tools to practice fish farming in Egypt.

"Fish farms that prioritize welfare see better outcomes. By integrating these tools into our teaching, we are equipping future aquaculture professionals with the skills to improve fish welfare and support food security across Egypt," noted Dr Radi of Kafr El Sheikh University.

Additionally, the COO of FAI, Murilo Quintiliano, expressed: "It's incredibly rewarding to see the university integrating our resources into their teaching. We want to help students gain a deeper understanding of fish welfare, acquire specific knowledge about tilapia—a cornerstone of Egypt’s aquaculture sector—and learn how to apply welfare principles in real-world settings."

Alongside FAI, Ethical Seafood Research (ESR), Egypt’s Central Laboratory for Aquaculture Research (CLAR), Aquavet Egypt, and Cairo University, Kafr El Sheikh University is one of the organizations involved in the successful Tilapia Welfare Project in Egypt.

Just a few days ago, the FAI Academy started offering the new free online training course 'Tilapia Behaviour and Welfare Indicators: From Foraging to Humane Slaughter' to help professionals become more efficient while becoming more environmentally respectful.
