The School of Veterinary Medicine at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has received a donation of 26 books from the Association of Church-based Development NGOs (ACDEP) to support teaching, learning, research and professional development.

The donation, comprising 13 different titles with two copies of each, has been presented to the School and made available at the School of Veterinary Medicine Library for the benefit of students, faculty, researchers and other library users.

The books focus on key areas including ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM), sustainable animal production, indigenous knowledge and related veterinary practices. The materials are expected to enrich the School's academic resources and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and research in areas that promote sustainable approaches to animal health and production.

The donation reflects ACDEP's commitment to promoting ethnoveterinary medicine and strengthening sustainable animal production through the recognition, documentation and responsible integration of indigenous knowledge into contemporary veterinary practice.

Receiving the books on behalf of the School, the Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine expressed sincere appreciation to ACDEP for the thoughtful contribution and its support towards knowledge exchange and capacity building in veterinary education.

The School noted that the additional resources would enhance access to relevant literature and provide valuable reference materials for academic work, research and professional training.

The School of Veterinary Medicine remains grateful to ACDEP for investing in its academic and research development and looks forward to continued collaboration in advancing ethnoveterinary medicine, sustainable animal production and One Health approaches in Ghana.

The donation underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in strengthening veterinary education, promoting indigenous knowledge systems and developing sustainable solutions to emerging animal and public health challenges.
