In his speech he said, Animal Feed Technology Study Program is one of the programs that has been designed for a long time even when Politala was founded. This is because the main need of the people in Tanah Laut Regency is the world of animal husbandry.
Sihabuddin continued, revealing that the current Merdeka Learning program is directly related and becomes a great opportunity with the role of the industrial world. So that later students will receive education on campus and will also practice directly in the industry for at least one year.

In this discussion, the historical basis for the establishment of the Animal Feed Technology Study Program is also explained, one of which is livestock that has the greatest potential in South Kalimantan, which is in Tanah Laut Regency.

“Hopefully, with input from the industrial world like us, it can be a benefit and a complement to the creation of the right curriculum, so that it is beneficial for student learning and the output is that the quality of students becomes a benefit for the industrial world,” said Syamsu Rizal.
According to Syamsu Rizal, the establishment of the Animal Feed Technology Study Program at Politala is the right step because the potential for livestock in Tanah Laut Regency is so extraordinary that special education is needed for optimal livestock management.
“Quality and efficient feed is the key to a farm, because of that D-IV graduates of the Animal Feed Technology Study Program are very well matched with the obstacles that exist in the land of the sea today, especially the livestock world,” concluded Syamsu Rizal. Hms_Politala
