Innovation and practice of classification training model for graduates in animal production: Using the industry-university-research collaborative education model of South China Agricultural University and WEN’s Group as an example

At present, our country is accelerating innovation and actively consolidating the effective connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. Against the background of the new era and striving for “Double First-Class,” the number of postgraduate applicants has increased remarkably, and the societal demand for high-level animal husbandry talent is also increasing. However, in the process of talent training, many colleges and universities do not differentiate between academic student training and professional graduate student training, thus leading to a deviation from national demand orientation, which hinders the goal of meeting the national demand for professional talent. The South China Agricultural University has cooperated with WEN’s Group for 30 years and has created a new model for classification and training of graduates in animal production with distinctive features and has become a model for industry-university-research cooperation in similar disciplines in China. This study summarizes the graduate classification training model to provide a reference for the reform and evaluation of the classification training model of graduates in animal production.
