Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya (RUTS) through the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, has implemented a hands-on learning and research activity aimed at supporting the sustainable growth of Thailand’s shrimp farming industry.
This activity involved 6th-year veterinary students participating in on-site farm visits and assessments in Surat Thani — the leading province in shrimp aquaculture production and value in Thailand.
Key Activities:
- Conducting shrimp health assessments to monitor disease and growth performance.
- Evaluating water and environmental quality to ensure sustainable farming conditions.
- Analyzing and providing consultation for farm business development in alignment with environmental conservation.
- Encouraging students to apply academic knowledge to real-world aquaculture operations.
This initiative demonstrates how academic research and practical veterinary science can be integrated to support local industries. By combining field-based learning, environmental management, and sustainable aquaculture practices, RUTS contributes to strengthening Thailand’s shrimp industry

Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya (RUTS), through the Faculty of Agriculture, initiated an applied research and innovation activity by introducing 3,000 broiler chickens into its newly developed smart poultry house. This initiative aims to enhance animal production efficiency, biosecurity, and sustainable livestock management through advanced agricultural technology.
The smart poultry house uses an Internet of Things (IoT)-based control system that automatically manages:
- Feeding and watering systems
- Temperature and humidity levels
- Light intensity and environmental monitoring
- Real-time adjustment of conditions for optimal growth
This project is a collaborative effort between the Animal Science Program and the Smart Agriculture Program, focusing on the integration of precision livestock farming technologies.

Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya promotes sustainable agriculture through Saiyai Smart Farm, an on-campus learning and production site that integrates academic knowledge with practical farming skills. Students grow vegetables using smart farming technology, applying controlled environment systems to ensure high-quality, safe, and chemical-free produce.
The vegetables grown are not only used for learning purposes but are also sold to students, staff, and the local community, creating a closed-loop system that links education, sustainable food production, and community engagement. This initiative demonstrates how agricultural education can be applied in real practice to support food security. This activity shows how sustainable agriculture can be embedded into academic programmes to produce real food for the community while equipping students with essential skills. By connecting production, learning, and distribution, Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya contributes to the development of sustainable food systems.
